About Our Community Home

Our Community Home is a sober living operator in North Chesterfield, Virginia, in Chesterfield County, and it pairs certified recovery housing with therapy groups, job readiness work and benefits navigation.

A Chesterfield County Sober Living Operator

Our Community Home runs transitional recovery housing at the northern end of Chesterfield County, where the county meets the Richmond city line, and keeps its office on Turner Road in Richmond. That arrangement is common among providers working this corridor and it has a practical effect. The people making decisions about admission, fees and discharge are a few minutes from the housing, and they sit inside the Richmond service network the residents are already attached to.

What This Recovery Housing Provider Runs Beyond the Housing

The organization describes expert-led therapy groups, job readiness programs, and help navigating benefits and life skills, delivered alongside the housing. Most sober living operators leave all three to outside agencies. Bundling them changes what a resident is buying and what a resident owes time to. For a man leaving treatment with no income, no current identification and a gap in his work history, having the housing and the paperwork handled by one organization removes the friction that ends placements in the first month. It also means there is a schedule, so an applicant should ask which parts are required, which are offered, and how many hours a week they take.

Certified Sober Homes on the Commonwealth's Register

Virginia requires every recovery residence to be credentialed and treats operating without a credential as a Class 1 misdemeanor. This provider's housing is certified through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences at Level 2, the tier VARR names Monitored. At the operator level, certification is a set of standing obligations: fees and rules disclosed in writing before anyone moves in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and complaint review by somebody outside the household. An organization that also delivers services on top of the housing has more to disclose, so those written documents repay close reading.

Serving North Chesterfield and the Richmond Area

A provider on the county line serves two populations at once. Chesterfield County residents who want to stay near family, a job or a court docket in the county can do it without moving into the city, and people discharged from treatment in Richmond can take a bed a few miles south where the streets are quieter and the housing stock is newer. GRTC bus service reaches this part of the county from the city, and the Route 1 corridor carries the warehouses, restaurants and retail that hire people in their first months of recovery. Certified recovery housing in Chesterfield concentrates in this northern strip for exactly those reasons.

Questions for This Sober Living Operator

Applications go to Our Community Home. The operator questions are the ones the register cannot answer. How long has the organization run housing in the Richmond area. Which parts of the therapy, job readiness and benefits work are required of residents, and are they included in the fee. What is the weekly fee, what deposit is required, and how is it refunded. Does the organization bill insurance, Medicaid or a state program for any of the services, and what does that mean for a resident's eligibility elsewhere. Is medication for opioid use disorder accepted. And how does a complaint escalate past the operator to the certifying body.
