We're truly thankful for great partners like Chad Fisher Construction who have made this daunting project possible. On our behalf, they have secured more than $180,000 in discounts and donations from subcontractors and suppliers. Many thanks to all who have already contributed.

Breaking Ground: Chad Fisher Construction is honored to partner with New Earth Recovery, a Skagit Valley-based nonprofit that exists to love, strengthen, and walk alongside individuals healing from substance addiction.

CFC is helping to expand this vision with the building of Cedar House #2 — a safe and welcoming place designed to help more people rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and purpose. More than just a structure, this build is a reflection of community care and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to heal.

What do families do when their loved ones are in danger of harming themselves? Why are people with substance use disorder treated differently than other mental health crises . . . in emergency rooms, on the streets, and with law enforcement? Why is it such a long wait to get help for someone in crisis, and why are there so few people who can do these assessments?

Representative Lauren Davis discusses all this and more in this podcast on Ricky's Law. 38 minutes, critical information.

Wise Alan!

Wisdom from the Field & Building Recovery Capital!

WAQRR’s Board Chair, Alan Muia , has been actively contributing to the NARR Best Practices Summit in Sandusky, Ohio.

Yesterday, Alan (who also serves as the Executive Director of New Earth Recovery) joined Chris Edrington and Sara Barkley for the Wisdom from the Field panel, where veteran operators with decades of experience shared best practices for navigating complex recovery housing scenarios. Topics included relapse response, resident conflict, boundary setting, and supporting residents with co-occurring needs, all rooted in the NARR Standards and the social model of recovery.

Today, Alan participated in Building Recovery Capital Through Community Partnerships alongside Michelle Medlock, Kim Montroll, and Brandy Anderson. This panel explored how recovery residences, recovery cafés, and recovery community organizations can work together to strengthen recovery capital and expand support networks.

We are grateful for Alan’s leadership and proud to see Washington represented in these important national conversations.
