Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee
Expect sober living in Tennessee to run about $165 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For scale, renting privately in Tennessee has a median gross rent of $1,189 a month. For those who cannot pay, TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher are among the state-funded routes used. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are accepted by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee
Tennessee does not license this kind of housing. Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
