Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee
A sober living bed in Tennessee usually costs about $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. For comparison, median gross rent across Tennessee is $1,189 a month. State funding such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. The agency behind it is Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
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 accepted by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Certification and oversight in Tennessee
Tennessee does not license this kind of housing. Voluntary standards are set by Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
