# Recovery Housing Overview

> Overview of the Recovery Housing core in Encore OS — purpose, scope, and key responsibilities.

The Recovery Housing core (RH) manages residential recovery operations for Encore OS — admissions and referrals, beds and census, programs and daily operations, resident assessments, discharge planning, alumni and outcomes, grievances, and housing compliance.

<Note>
  **Architecture:** RH is a domain core that depends only on **Platform Foundation**. Its regulatory baseline (AZDHS licensing, NARR standards) is tracked on the [Recovery Housing references](/rh/references) page.
</Note>

## The resident lifecycle

An episode moves through an admission-to-discharge state machine. A referral converts to an admission, a bed is assigned from the bed board, the resident runs daily operations and program phases, and discharge planning leads into outcomes and alumni follow-up.
