The Safe and Secure Housing for Opioid Recovery and Enduring Stability Act of 2025, or Safe SHORES Act, reauthorizes a pilot program aimed at providing stable housing for individuals recovering from substance abuse disorders. This legislation extends the program's authorization for appropriations from 2026 through 2030, ensuring a minimum annual funding level of $50,000,000 . It also updates the criteria for states to receive funds, basing eligibility on the five most recent calendar years for opioid-related deaths and overdoses, and extends the timeframe for states to expend all allocated funds to five years. The bill introduces new provisions to enhance program oversight and effectiveness, allowing states to use up to one percent of funds for furniture costs in temporary housing. It encourages states to prioritize funding for facilities that offer workforce development, financial literacy training, and follow-up support for former residents, while also meeting state accreditation standards. Furthermore, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is mandated to monitor grants and submit comprehensive annual reports to Congress, detailing fund usage, resident outcomes, and an interagency strategy for expanding recovery housing.
