Common Ground Recovery (CGR) is a trauma-informed, peer-led nonprofit based in Rutland, Vermont, dedicated to creating safe, dignified housing for people in recovery. We believe healing begins with stability, autonomy, and community—and we’re building that from the ground up.

We’ve launched the CGR Foundation Fund to raise $10,000 toward our first year of operations and the opening of our two pilot residences: one for men, one for women. These homes will be more than shelter—they’ll be spaces of empowerment, accountability, and transformation.

Your gift helps us:

- Secure and furnish our first two residences

- Cover foundational operating costs

- Build trauma-informed intake systems

- Train peer leaders and staff

- Ensure legal, financial, and digital infrastructure is resilient from day one

CGR was born from lived experience and built with intention. We’re not just creating housing—we’re creating a model for recovery that centers dignity, equity, and long-term sustainability.

Every dollar moves us closer to opening our doors.

Every gift helps someone rebuild their life.

Thank you for standing with us.
