AI Summary

This bill, the Studying Outcomes and Benchmarks for Effective Recovery Homes Act (SOBER Homes Act), directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to enter into an agreement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a study on the quality and effectiveness of "covered recovery housing" in the United States. The study will review existing literature and include case studies on the availability, regulation, and oversight of recovery housing, as well as examine various characteristics of these programs, such as their nonprofit or for-profit status, services provided, staffing, and potential fraudulent practices. The bill also requires the Secretary to conduct additional research to fill any gaps identified in the study's findings. The goal is to promote the availability of high-quality recovery housing and improve data collection on the effectiveness of these programs.
