Personalized Nursing LIGHT House (PNLH) is expanding its Recovery Housing Program with the opening of two new homes, adding 12 additional beds to support individuals in early recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). This expansion is made possible through funding from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority’s Recovery Housing Investment Program (RHIP).
The new homes will serve clients enrolled in PNLH outpatient services, including Intensive Outpatient with Domicile (IOPD) and Enhanced Outpatient with Domicile (EOPD). Each home will provide a safe, structured, and sober environment for people in early recovery, many of whom face housing instability.
“Having a safe, clean, and supportive home creates a healing environment and is fundamental to laying a strong foundation in recovery,” said PNLH CEO Joseph Paliwoda. “These homes will open new doors for individuals and support their recovery journey.”
PNLH Peer Recovery Coaches and Case Managers will support residents in the homes, helping them build skills, access resources, and continue treatment in a stable setting. These services align with PNLH’s mission to provide whole-person, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care rooted in the LIGHT Model.
“We are deeply grateful to MSHDA for making this possible,” Paliwoda added. “This investment helps us serve more people with dignity, safety, and hope.”
The homes are expected to open this summer and will serve adults with SUD, with priority given to those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This expansion continues PNLH’s legacy of innovation in integrated recovery care throughout southeast Michigan.
