Recovery Alive CEO asks Henderson council to redirect remaining opioid settlement funds to women's home
Summary
Tisha Temple of Recovery Alive Inc. told the council that New Roots, a women's recovery residence, is operating successfully while the planned men's home did not open amid zoning and legal confusion; she requested roughly $18,000 be redirected to support resident services at New Roots.
Tisha Temple, CEO of Recovery Alive Inc., told the Henderson City Council that the organization’s women’s home, New Roots, is successfully operating but that the planned men’s home, Anchor Holds, never opened because of zoning concerns and public confusion about the residence’s legal status.
Temple said Recovery Alive provided documentation clarifying it operates a lawful Level 1 recovery residence and that misconceptions, alleged zoning violation claims and legal expenses undermined investor confidence and prevented securing a property for the men’s home. She asked the Council to redirect approximately $18,000 remaining from the award originally intended for the men’s home to bolster New Roots by funding a peer support worker, resident services, and property improvements before the grant application period closes at month’s end. Mayor Elliott thanked Temple and the City Manager said staff would follow up.
Temple framed the request as a way to strengthen ongoing recovery services rather than seek special treatment, and she highlighted the women's home’s role in helping residents rebuild their lives.
