What a bed costs in Tennessee, and what help exists

In Tennessee, a bed in sober living commonly runs 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. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. 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 the state body to start with.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the existing membership, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight 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. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
