Recovery Housing
Recovery housing is made possible through a partnership between the Collegiate Recovery Program and DU Housing & Residential Education (HRE). Recovery Housing is on-campus housing intended specifically for students pursuing recovery from substance use who would be best served by a community that is dedicated to a supportive recovery lifestyle. Priority for this community will be given to those applicants who demonstrate a dedication to their own recovery and the recovery of others.
Recovery Housing is located in Mesa Apartments, details below. If available spaces are not initially filled with those who meet these priority criteria, students who are dedicated to a substance-free lifestyle and seek to be involved with the Collegiate Recovery Community as allies will be considered.
To apply for recovery housing, you must first contact the CRP at 303-871-3699 or recovery@du.edu If eligible, you will still need to complete the HRE housing application process (with CRP assisting with assignment to Mesa), and would then be bound by that on-campus housing contract, usually for the full academic year.
