About Veannisa R.
I have worked in behavioral health for 21 years, with a strong focus on housing. I currently work at The Forest Recovery as the Regional Director of Housing for Arizona overseeing our Level II recovery homes. I recently worked for Recovery Innovations, holding various roles with my last role being the Housing Program Director, overseeing the Transitional Living Program, Respite, and Permanent Supportive Housing. Previously, I worked as an ACT Housing Specialist in a clinic setting and a Program Director, where I managed Behavioral Health Residential Facilities (BHRFS). Throughout my career, I have received numerous professional accolades, including the Top Performer Award in 2016, Professional of the Year in 2017, and most recently, led the Respite Team at Recovery Innovations to win the RI Way Team of the Year in 2023. I have also been nominated several years in a row for the Mercy Care Rise Award.
