About the Free Event

A guided path to build, convert, or invest in recovery homes

At Vanderburgh Sober Living, we believe every community deserves safe, supportive housing for people in recovery. Building it takes more than good intentions. It takes clarity, strategy, and the right guidance.

The Recovery Housing Discovery Event is a free weekly session for aspiring Operators, property owners, and mission-aligned investors. One hour, every Friday. We cover the practical steps, the certification and zoning rules you have to meet, and the numbers behind opening a home.
