Valor House

About Valor House

Valor House is a sober living operator in Madisonville, Tennessee, serving Monroe County under its parent organization, 517 Ministries.

A Program of 517 Ministries

517 Ministries founded Valor House as its recovery housing arm, extending work the nonprofit already does around homelessness in the Tellico Plains area of Monroe County. The organization launched in 2022, making Valor House one of the newer certified recovery housing programs operating in East Tennessee.

Certified Recovery Housing in Monroe County

Valor House is certified through the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences, which requires a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and a complaint process independent of house staff. Tennessee publishes no certification levels for any organization, so this stands as a single designation.

Serving East Tennessee's Monroe County

Monroe County sits along the Cherokee National Forest in East Tennessee, with Madisonville as its seat and a much smaller recovery housing footprint than nearby Knoxville or Chattanooga. A locally rooted operator matters here because there are few certified alternatives inside the county itself.

Reaching 517 Ministries and Valor House

Referrals and direct inquiries go through 517 Ministries. Questions worth asking at the operator level: how long the organization has run Valor House, what its intake process looks like for someone coming out of homelessness or addiction, and how fees and any donations are kept separate on the books.
