It has been nearly two years since the predatory practice that intentionally targeted Indigenous people by offering them shelter, food and rehabilitation help they never got was exposed and state officials moved to shut it down.
In 2023, Gov. Katie Hobbs, Attorney General Kris Mayes and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) announced the existence of the fraudulent sober living homes in the state after more than a year of Indigenous advocates voicing their concerns within their communities.
The scheme harmed thousands of Indigenous people who have either been killed, drugged, physically hurt, gone missing or were left on the street and abandoned in the city after falling victim to the scam.
