In FY 2024, the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR) utilized $1.7 million in funding allocated by the Virginia General Assembly. This report provides information about the initiatives supported by this funding, including the Peer Navigator Program, Recovery Corps, and GET HELP.

A summary of the 2024 expenditures is found in the chart on numbered page 3 of the report. This report outlines information provided directly by VARR on the programs that were funded with this allocation.

In an effort to track resident data and financial disbursements associated with the FY 2024 funding stream, VARR uses the Advanced Recovery Management System (ARMS). In ARMS, financial subscriptions are assigned to residents to track utilization of funding in real-time and allow VARR to filter resident data sets specifically by the funding stream with which they are associated. Also located in ARMS is the Recovery Capital (REC-CAP) instrument. Residents are guided through REC-CAP by trained navigators at their recovery organization. Recovery residence operators and their trained navigators utilize the REC-CAP evaluation to assess and measure an individuals’ recovery capital. The scored evaluation results are used to create informed recovery care plans to help residents resolve barriers to recovery and unmet service needs and grow recovery strengths and increase recovery capital.
