Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee

The going rate for sober living in Tennessee is around $165 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Median gross rent statewide in Tennessee is $1,189 a month, for context. State funding such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the current residents, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee

Tennessee does not licence recovery residences as facilities. The state's NARR affiliate, Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. 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).
