Victory Home Inc. Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Victory Home Inc. is a men's recovery residence in Clarkesville, Georgia, in Habersham County. Founded in 1959 by the Reverend Bill Cadle, it has run continuously at 157 Victory Home Lane for more than six decades and holds Level III Type S (Supervised) certification, with fees ranging from $0 to $500 a month.

A Faith-Based Sober House With a Six-Decade History

Victory Home describes itself as having reached more than 10,000 men since it opened, which makes it one of the older continuously operating recovery residences in the state. It serves men 21 and older exclusively, and its address, 157 Victory Home Lane, sits about three miles from Tallulah Gorge in the north Georgia mountains.

What Level III Supervised Certification Establishes

Level III Type S certification through GARR means the house runs under active staff supervision, going beyond a purely peer-managed household, and it commits Victory Home to a published code of ethics and written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in. THOR approval marks it as recognized transitional housing for men reentering the community as well.

A Fee Structure Built on Donations, Not Government Funding

The $0 to $500 monthly range and the organization's own description of itself as funded by donations, gifts and thrift store proceeds, with no state or federal funding, point to a program built to keep cost from being the reason a man cannot get in.
