What Recovery Resources does

Recovery Resources is a Cleveland-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health organization, legally incorporated as Alcoholism Services of Cleveland, Inc., that traces its origins to Martha "Marty" Baker's 1955 grassroots alcoholism support work and was formally incorporated in 1977. Following the 2026 "Unaffiliation Agreement" with The MetroHealth System, it no longer operates outpatient clinical services (most of which transitioned to MetroHealth by 2025) and has refocused its mission on Social Determinants of Health for people in recovery.

Its current product portfolio consists of three core offerings: the Recovery Resources Support Grant, a 2026-launched micro-grantmaking program with two tracks (Individual Recovery Support Grants for Cuyahoga County residents in recovery and Grassroots Organization Grants for peer-led recovery programs); two structured sober living residences — Monarch House for Women (3201 Clinton Ave) and Franklin House for Men (7315 Franklin Blvd), both temporarily under remodeling; and a community resources referral platform linking users to treatment, crisis, and peer support organizations.

The business model is grantmaking rather than commercial: Recovery Resources distributes pooled funds to individuals and grassroots organizations rather than selling a priced service. Beneficiaries are reached through the recres.org website, an online application portal, and referral partnerships with Cuyahoga County treatment providers and sober living organizations, with grant eligibility requiring sponsor and treatment/sober-living endorsements. The organization is led by Executive Director Bill Tymoszczuk (appointed June 1, 2026), operates with a 1-10 person staff, and is governed independently following the 2026 MetroHealth unaffiliation.
