Abstract: Researchers used a longitudinal design panel to examine the impact of housing stability and peer support on long‐term recovery and recidivism reduction for individuals with justice involvement and substance use histories (N = 97). Using the Recovery Capital Index, bivariate associations were assessed at 90 days for personal capital, rearrest, and housing stability. Of 97 participants, 14 (14%) experienced rearrest and 74 (76%) achieved housing stability. Results showed as social capital increases, personal capital increases (p < 0.0001). This study demonstrates that peer support specialists, care coordination, and building community connections significantly support long‐term recovery and reducing recidivism rates.
