Partner with Heart Forward as a Verified Home

Verification connects your recovery home to scholarship-funded residents while ensuring alignment with our commitment to safety, dignity, and recovery-centered living.

What we look for

Verification is about clarity and care—not perfection. We look for homes committed to:

Safety & Stability

Physical and emotional environments that support recovery without exploitation.

Dignity & Respect

Clear expectations, honest communication, and treatment that honors each resident's humanity.

Transparency

Straightforward costs, policies, and house guidelines—no hidden fees or surprise rules.

Recovery-Centered Practices

Support for multiple pathways to recovery, including MAT and harm reduction approaches.
