The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) plans to invest $37.5 million from the state’s Opioid Settlement Fund into stable housing for Michigan residents recovering from substance use disorder (SUD). This funding is part of the fiscal year 2026 state budget that includes $131.7 million for SUD prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services.

A recent analysis by MDHHS revealed more than 7,500 discharges from publicly funded SUD treatment annually resulted in people leaving treatment without stable housing. To address this, the department has set a goal to create 3,467 new recovery housing . . .
