What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it
In Tennessee, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $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 in Tennessee, for comparison, is $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. That money is administered by Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery residence standards 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. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
