Phase Two — Community Reentry · Module 9 of 24 · 90 minutes
Keeping your bed by understanding structure, chores, and shared responsibility.
What you will be able to do
- Understand the structure that keeps a recovery residence functioning for everyone.
- Build a personal plan for meeting curfew, chores, and shared-living expectations.
- Identify the most common reasons residents lose placement, and how to avoid them.
Why this matters
Housing is the foundation everything else in this program sits on. Renewed Ambition follows national recovery residence standards (NARR) because a stable, structured living environment is what makes every other module possible.
Reality check: Losing your bed rarely happens over one big incident. It happens through a pattern — missed curfew, skipped chores, avoided conversations — that builds until it can’t be ignored. Catching the pattern early is the whole game.
Activity
House Systems Walkthrough — review chore chart, curfew schedule, and shared-space agreements; each resident commits in writing to their specific responsibilities.
Scenario
A resident misses curfew twice in the first month because they never set up a transportation plan. What started as a scheduling problem becomes a housing risk.
What would you do first?
