Kull Murray's experience highlights the challenges faced by individuals navigating sober living in California. After relapsing in substance use, he was evicted from Delancey Street, a sober living program. California's housing-first policy, enacted in 2016, has restrictions on using tax dollars for drug-free housing, which a new legislative proposal seeks to amend. A proposed bill would allow state funding for sober housing, limit evictions for relapses, and ensure support for tenants needing assistance, emphasizing a balance between recovery and access to safe living conditions.
"I ended up drinking at least a 12 pack. And then, the next thing I know, I'm at a park with people I'm familiar with and I'm smoking meth."
"People who are working towards abstinence have a right to be in a space where there's no drug use. But we are first obligated to see how we can work with them."
