What a bed costs in Tennessee, and what help exists
Across Tennessee, sober living generally runs about $165 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Statewide, median gross rent in Tennessee runs $1,189 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is where that funding sits.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Tennessee
Tennessee does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. 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. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
