Paying for sober living in Tennessee
A sober living bed in Tennessee usually costs about $165 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent in Tennessee, for comparison, 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. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery housing standards in Tennessee
Recovery housing in Tennessee operates without a state licence. Homes that want certification apply to Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state NARR affiliate. 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.
