The Gaal House

About The Gaal House

The Gaal House is a sober living operator in Memphis, Tennessee, providing certified men's recovery housing in Shelby County.

A Memphis Nonprofit Recovery Housing Provider

The Gaal House has operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2015, built specifically to house men coming out of alcohol and drug treatment. Nonprofit status means the organization can accept monthly donations to support its work, alongside whatever residents contribute toward housing costs.

A Program Beyond Housing Alone

The organization layers job training, life-coping skills instruction, and substance abuse counseling on top of its housing, and it requires residents to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and pursue employment. That structure is closer to a full recovery program than a landlord relationship, which is the trade-off a resident accepts for more oversight and more accountability.

Certified Recovery Housing in Shelby County

The Gaal House holds certification through Tennessee's certification framework, which requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and outside review of complaints. The Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences is one of two bodies that can grant it in this state.

Working With The Gaal House

Men seeking housing, along with treatment providers making referrals, can reach the organization directly. Families vetting a Memphis recovery housing provider from a distance should ask how referrals are handled, what the counseling component actually covers, and how donations and resident contributions are kept separate on the books.
