What a bed costs in Tennessee, and what help exists

Sober living across Tennessee averages roughly $165 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Tennessee is $1,189 a month, for context. 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.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee

Tennessee has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Voluntary certification runs through Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
