The Byrd Nest

About The Byrd Nest

The Byrd Nest is a women's sober living operator in Charleston, South Carolina, in Charleston County, appearing on the state's female transitional housing list.

A Recovery Housing Provider for Reentry

Houses on the state supervision agency's list take women whose first problem is that a release date arrived without an address, usually carrying a record, no deposit and no rental history behind them into a tight and expensive housing market.

Why This Sober Living Operator Matters for Reentry

Supervising officers use the same published list to place women leaving custody, and the small number of operators willing to work with that population effectively determine whether someone leaves custody into housing or into a shelter on any given week.

A Recovery Housing Provider in the State's Largest Recovery Community

Charleston is the county seat, and its recovery community is the largest in the state, with meetings running all day across the peninsula, West Ashley and beyond, giving residents here a wide network of support to draw on.

What to Ask This Sober Living Operator

Ask what documentation a referral requires, how quickly a bed becomes available around a release date, and how residents connect with the peninsula's meeting schedule once housed here.
