Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee
The going rate for sober living in Tennessee is around $165 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by a house vote, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
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. 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. Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
