From One Person’s Vision to a Regional Team
Joey Bannish founded DHR in 2021. What began as a sole proprietorship has grown into a regional organization led by co-owners Joey Bannish and Robin Cozad, with teams working across seven counties. The growth reflects more ways to help and more local relationships, while keeping the person receiving support at the center.
Growing with the Communities We Serve
Our work began in Grays Harbor and Pacific, expanded into Lewis, then Cowlitz and Wahkiakum, and most recently reached Thurston and Mason. Different programs serve different counties. Community-based work extends beyond office walls, and we do not have an office in every county.
What DHR Looks Like Today
Our Recovery Navigator Program connects outreach and ongoing case management with practical support. Foundational Community Supports helps eligible people find and keep housing and employment. GOSH adds a focused route into community housing for eligible long-term care participants. CHOICE Connect brings care coordination through Community Health Workers, and our court partnerships bring peer support alongside the therapeutic court journey.
Lived Experience, Supported by Professional Practice
Peer leadership shapes how we listen and build relationships. Training, supervision, clear boundaries and quality review help turn that understanding into dependable support. We value what people know about their own lives and recognize that there is more than one path toward recovery.
Our Commitments in Practice
Participant choice means goals are developed with the person. Harm reduction means working on safety and well-being without making abstinence a condition of RNP engagement. Housing First means housing support can begin while other challenges are still present. Persistent engagement means continuing to work on the barriers that can keep a referral from becoming a useful connection.
A Partner in the Wider Community
DHR works with healthcare and treatment providers, housing resources, courts, first responders and other community organizations. Our current services are nonclinical. We help people reach care and other resources while supporting the practical work around those connections.
