Andy’s Place – Jackson, Michigan

Andy’s Place is a 50-unit permanent supportive recovery housing residential facility recently opened in Jackson, Michigan. The project is the first of its kind in the nation combining long-term housing and treatment services for individuals recovering from opioid addiction, operated in conjunction with the Drug Treatment Courts. Cinnaire supported the project with a low-income housing tax credit investment. Andy’s Place provides 39 one-bedroom apartments for individuals referred by the courts and includes a separate building with 11 two-bedroom apartments to house families. Research has shown that a key component to successful recovery is the restoring of families and this program provides the opportunity to keep families together in a safe environment. Rents are based on income.

Andy’s Place will also offer onsite supportive services, including case management and a recovery program funded and managed by the Drug Court. Other amenities include recreational and life skills programs, including financial health and employment classes, sober and wellness activities, a greenhouse, and an area to create music. The Community Action Agency of Jackson, the development partner, will provide a resident services coordinator on site to assist with job training, financial literacy, benefits, and education facilitation.
