Background/Summary:

Discussion ensued regarding sober homes during the March 27, 2017 City Council Meeting. It is known that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA) limit government oversight of recovery residences, commonly referred to as sober homes. Currently, the Office of the State Attorney, Dave Aronberg, facilitates the Palm Beach County Sober Homes Task Force (hereinafter Task Force).

The Task Force issued a report on January 1, 2017, which included identified problems and recommended changes to existing laws and regulations governing substance abuse treatment and recovery residence industries. Overall, the Task Force includes approximately 34 members, with the Task Force Proviso Group consisting of approximately 17 individuals, representing various for-profit, non-profit and governmental entitles throughout Palm Beach County. The City Council desires to provide notification of interest of membership when a position on the Task Force becomes available, or if a new membership position is created in the future.
