Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee
A sober living bed in Tennessee usually costs 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. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher is the usual route. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state body to start with.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by the existing membership, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Certification and oversight in Tennessee
Tennessee does not license this kind of housing. Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601) protect residents here.
