About Living by Design Collective, LLC

Living by Design Collective, LLC is a sober living operator running certified recovery housing in Dallas, Texas, in Dallas County. It operates two Level III homes, Encino Home for women and Normandy Home for men, both certified by the Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network, TROHN.

A Dallas Sober Living Operator

Living by Design Collective runs two single-gender houses in Dallas, keeping its women's program and its men's program under one operator while running each as a separate household. That structure lets the company apply one set of fees and expectations across both houses while still giving each gender its own space and rules.

Serving Men and Women in Dallas

Encino Home in Dallas houses women, and Normandy Home, also in Dallas, houses men. Running both under one name means a resident who later needs a different fit, or simply a change of housemates, can raise it with an operator that already has a file on them.

Level III Certification Across Both Houses

Both Encino Home and Normandy Home hold Level III certification from TROHN, the designation for supervised sober living with a higher degree of structure than a peer-managed Level II house. TROHN certification is voluntary in Texas, and an operator that carries it on every house it runs has committed to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and an outside complaint process across its entire portfolio.

Recovery Housing in Dallas and Dallas County

Dallas is the seat of Dallas County and the commercial center of North Texas, and its size means Living by Design Collective's residents have access to a wide bench of outpatient providers, DART transit lines and entry-level employers without leaving the city. That density is a meaningful advantage for sober housing operators working at Level III, where residents typically need reliable transportation to outside treatment and work.
