Place of Hope

About Place of Hope

Place of Hope is a nonprofit recovery housing and treatment provider based in Columbia, Tennessee, running a licensed residential program in Maury County at no cost to residents.

A Licensed Recovery Housing Provider in Columbia

Place of Hope holds a Tennessee state license for alcohol and drug treatment, which sets it apart from many small operators that run housing without a clinical license attached. That license is a matter of public record and gives a family evaluating the organization something independently checkable.

Free and Faith-Based by Design

The organization describes itself as a Christ-centered ministry and provides its 45-bed residential program free of charge, supported in part by grants from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. It also runs a temporary homeless shelter and meal services, extending its work beyond residential treatment to people who have nowhere else to turn.

Serving Maury County and Southern Middle Tennessee

Columbia is the seat of Maury County and a regional center for Southern Middle Tennessee, and Place of Hope's location there puts it within reach of the county's courts, social services and outpatient providers. Grant funding tied to the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services also connects the organization to the state's broader behavioral health system, documented at the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

One Program, No Cost Barrier

Because Place of Hope charges nothing for its residential program, it removes the single biggest obstacle many people face when looking for recovery housing: the ability to pay. That funding model, leaning on state grants instead of resident fees, shapes who the organization can serve and how quickly someone can move in after reaching out.

Contacting Place of Hope

Admissions run through Place of Hope directly. Given the organization's faith-based structure and its shelter and meal services alongside residential treatment, the practical questions include what documentation is needed to enter, how long the residential program runs, and how the organization's transportation to outside faith services fits into a resident's week.
