Extends and updates a HUD pilot program that helps people in recovery from substance use disorders secure and keep stable housing. It lengthens the program years, updates data references, allows limited furniture purchases to support move-in and stability, requires HUD to track grants in its financial database, encourages States to adopt best practices, and mandates annual reporting to Congress on program use and outcomes.
Amend Section 8071 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (42 U.S.C. 5301; Public Law 115–271).
In subsection (a), replace the authorization period "2019 through 2023" with "2026 through 2030" (changes the program years).
In subsection (b)(1), replace the phrase "date of enactment of this Act" with the name "Safe and Secure Housing for Opioid Recovery and Enduring Stability Act of 2025."
In subsection (b)(2)(B)(i), replace the references to "calendar years 2013 through 2017" with the phrase "the 5 most recent calendar years."
In subsection (c)(A), change the expenditure timing from "at least 30 percent of such funds within one year" to "all such amounts within 5 years" (extends the period to obligate/use funds).
Primary beneficiaries are people in recovery from substance use disorders who need stable housing; allowing limited furniture purchases reduces move-in barriers and can improve housing retention. Grantees (state and local housing agencies, nonprofits, and service providers) gain a narrower authorized use of funds and will need to track those expenditures and outcomes. HUD must integrate pilot grants into its financial database and produce annual reports to Congress, increasing oversight and transparency. States are encouraged to identify and share best practices, which could standardize effective housing-support models tied to recovery services. The amendment updates administrative and reporting requirements but does not itself provide new funding, so the scale of impact depends on available grant appropriations and HUD guidance. Overall administrative burden increases slightly for HUD and grantees but is intended to improve program effectiveness and accountability.
