Today, the Vanderburgh Foundation is proud to announce the launch of a new initiative designed to strengthen recovery housing across the country: our official resource shop.
This shop exists for one purpose: to make it easier for people to build, improve, and sustain high-quality recovery housing. Whether you are launching your first sober living home, refining your house systems, training staff, or navigating compliance and certification, you should not have to start from scratch. You should be able to access proven tools and practical guidance that actually reflect the realities of this work.
That is what this shop is here to provide.
Built from Real Experience, Not Theory
Recovery housing is not a concept to us. It is a daily responsibility.
The resources offered through this shop are grounded in years of hands-on work in the sober living field. They reflect the same operational frameworks, house standards, training systems, and development approaches that have been used to build structured recovery homes, support operators, and raise quality across multiple states.
These resources are designed to be usable, not inspirational. They are meant to help people implement real systems: the kind that protect guests, support staff, improve accountability, and keep homes stable over time.
A Shop That Funds the Mission
What makes this initiative different is what happens after the purchase.
Every sale directly supports recovery housing initiatives through the Vanderburgh Foundation. This means that when you purchase a guide, toolkit, training resource, or educational material, you are doing two things at once:
- You are gaining tools that can improve recovery housing in your own work
- You are funding the broader mission of expanding access to structured, supportive recovery homes
This shop is not a side project. It is a way to turn education into impact.
Why This Matters Right Now
Recovery housing is one of the most important and most misunderstood components of the recovery ecosystem.
Sober living homes are often where the real work of long-term recovery begins. They provide structure, accountability, peer support, and stability at a stage when many people are rebuilding every part of their lives. But the quality of recovery housing varies widely, and too many operators are forced to navigate complicated challenges without reliable tools or guidance.
We believe recovery housing improves when good operators have access to better infrastructure.
This shop is one step toward that goal.
Thank You for Supporting the Work
If you’ve supported the Foundation’s mission in the past — through partnership, advocacy, referrals, donations, or encouragement — we want you to know this: we see the work you do, and we built this shop with you in mind.
Every purchase helps us invest back into recovery housing education, quality improvement, and sustainable growth.
We are proud to launch it, and we are grateful to share it with you.
