Thank You, Holman Recovery Center
We are deeply grateful for our partnership with Holman Recovery Center. Their commitment to comprehensive addiction treatment and belief in the importance of structured recovery housing has made this scholarship possible.
In response to this partnership, Wilson Housing Alliance proudly created the Holman Recovery Scholarship, pledging 2 scholarship beds per house exclusively for Holman graduates. Together, we're building a stronger bridge from treatment to lasting independence.
Program Overview
The HOLMAN Recovery Scholarship is designed to help you succeed in your transition from treatment to independent living. During your 90 day scholarship period, you'll work with our program manager to complete Phase 1 requirements and develop a clear plan for transitioning to self pay.
What We Provide
- The Recovery and Employment Journey Framework, a comprehensive workforce readiness program that helps you develop the skills needed to find and maintain employment or pursue education
- Structured support and accountability to help you stay on track
- Connection to community resources and employment and education partners
What Success Requires
- Your active engagement in Phase 1 programming
- Commitment to developing and executing your transition plan
- Taking ownership of your recovery journey
Success comes from actively using the tools and support we provide.
Program Structure and Self Accountability
Our program is built on a foundation of structure and accountability that empowers you to take ownership of your recovery journey. All residents, including scholarship recipients, are expected to follow house rules and curfew requirements.
Clock In and Clock Out System
Our clock in and clock out system is designed to empower you to be accountable to yourself. Rather than staff trying to catch people breaking curfew, this system creates a healthy atmosphere of self accountability where you demonstrate your commitment to following house curfew rules.
When you clock in and clock out, you're showing yourself and the community that you're taking responsibility for your recovery and respecting the structure that supports your success. This isn't about surveillance. It's about building the self accountability skills that will serve you long after you leave the program.
This structure, combined with your active engagement, creates an environment where everyone can focus on recovery and growth rather than enforcement. You have the power to demonstrate your commitment through your actions, and the clock in/out system gives you a clear way to show that commitment.

To qualify for the HOLMAN Recovery Scholarship, you must meet these requirements

Not sure where to start? That's okay. We provide the structure and resources. Your commitment to engaging fully makes the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not sure which pathway is right for me?
That's completely normal. During the scholarship period, you'll work through The Recovery and Employment Journey Framework course, which helps you assess your situation, explore your options, and develop the skills and confidence to pursue employment or education.
What if I'm struggling to find a job or get into school?
The Phase 1 workforce readiness course provides practical tools and strategies for job searching, resume writing, interview preparation, school applications, and financial aid. We also connect you with our employment and education partners.
What happens if I can't transition to self pay by day 91?
If you cannot demonstrate your ability to pay $800/month by day 91, you will be asked to self exit the program. This deadline helps you stay focused and ensures fairness to all residents.
What is The Recovery and Employment Journey Framework?
It's a comprehensive workforce readiness program that's part of Phase 1. It includes 30 educational videos across six chapters covering job searching, resume writing, interview skills, and career development, plus a 114 page workbook with practical assignments, and individual coaching with Ty Reed, founder of Recovery Career Services.
Can I use a combination of employment, education, and family support?
Yes. As long as you can demonstrate the ability to pay $800/month total, you can combine sources. For example, a part time job ($400/month) plus family support ($400/month) would qualify.
What if I lose my job or drop out of school after transitioning?
You must maintain your ability to pay $800/month throughout the 12 month commitment. If your situation changes, you must find alternative funding (employment, education, or family/friend support) or you may be asked to self exit. We encourage you to have backup plans.
Can I still be asked to leave during the scholarship period?
Yes. The scholarship covers housing costs, but all program requirements still apply. Violations of house rules, substance use, or other program violations can result in immediate termination regardless of scholarship status.
