Paying for sober living in Tennessee
Expect sober living in Tennessee to run about $165 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Statewide, median gross rent in Tennessee runs $1,189 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Certification and oversight in Tennessee
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Tennessee. The state's NARR affiliate, Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
