Education Opportunities at Real Recovery Sober Living in St. Petersburg

We encourage every resident that can, to continue their education, even if it’s only a couple of classes each semester. Pursuing a degree and obtaining relevant certifications is one of the best ways to improve your economic mobility (ability to increase your income), quality of life, become self-sufficient, learn new skills, and prepare yourself for today’s evolving job market needs.

Did you know that as a resident at Real Recovery you can receive an exemption that covers the cost of tuition and access fees to attend St. Petersburg College? It’s true!

It gets better – our St. Petersburg sober living community is a short 19-minute bus ride (5 minutes by car) from SPC’s St. Petersburg/Gibbs Campus.

St. Petersburg College has something called a “Homeless Fee Exemption” program which is part of a statewide program (§ 31009.25, Fla. Stat.; 2020) to help individuals and families who want to create a better life but are experiencing less than ideal circumstances. Before you say, well I’m not homeless… well put your ego aside, remember we’re working on a program of willingness, honesty, and humility. Real Recovery is by definition “transitional housing” which means all residents meet the federal definition of “homeless.”
