[10/9] - This week, TCA member program Phoenix House welcomed U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Ny.) for a visit to its Brooklyn Recovery Center. Leader Jeffries received a tour of the program, which has been open since 2011, and during a small group discussion with Phoenix House leadership he engaged on issues related to addiction treatment and funding for services such as the IMD Exclusion and SUPTRS Block Grant.
“It was an honor to have Leader Jeffries visit our Recovery Center," said Ann Marie Foster, President and Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix House, "and to see first-hand how important and necessary are the funds that are used to deliver access to recovery coaching and services to a vulnerable population that are dying at an alarming rate due to the overdose crisis."
Leader Jeffries expressed support for Phoenix House and its work and impact, and offered his continued assistance within Congress.
