HEARD has become a trusted voice in the recovery community, particularly in underserved rural areas where access to support services is limited. By leveraging peer experience and local partnerships, HEARD not only helps individuals sustain long-term recovery but also strengthens families, reduces recidivism, and contributes to safer, more resilient communities.

Looking forward, HEARD aims to expand its peer workforce, increase housing capacity, and develop mobile outreach programs to reach even the most isolated communities. Through collaboration and advocacy, we continue to build bridges between recovery, housing, and opportunity.
