Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee

The going rate for sober living in Tennessee is around $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. Median gross rent in Tennessee sits at $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. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services administers that funding at state level.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee

Tennessee does not license this kind of housing. 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. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
