2026 NARR Best Practice Summit | September 28-30, 2026 | Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Meet Our Host

Florida Association of Recovery Residences

The 2026 NARR Best Practices Summit is proudly hosted in partnership with the Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), a statewide leader advancing quality recovery housing across Florida.

About FARR


FARR is Florida's official certifying body for recovery housing and the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Our mission is straightforward: to help recovery housing providers build programs that are stable, and supportive, so that the people who need them most always have a place to land.

We work alongside operators every step of the way. From initial application through certification, site assessment, and ongoing training, our team is here to guide, support, and meet providers where they are. When challenges arise, we work to resolve them fairly and constructively, because we see every provider as a partner in this work.

That partnership is making a difference. Across Florida, more than 275 FARR-certified providers operate over 10,000 beds in recovery residences, and together we have supported approximately 500,000 Floridians on their journey toward lasting recovery.
