What it costs, in plain numbers.
Expected range
$1,000–1,300/month
We're still setting rates
Exact rates aren't final yet and will depend on the house. We're planning on somewhere between these numbers.
How to get a bed
Let's find you a bed.
We call or text you back and ask a few follow-up questions.
A short phone interview — mostly us listening — and a straight answer on availability.
Usually within 48 hours of approval. Bring clothes, medication, and ID. We'll cover the rest on day one.
Nothing here is a commitment. It starts a conversation. You can apply for yourself or for someone else, and we never share your information with treatment centers or marketers.
Let's find you a bed.
If it's easier to just call, call. A person picks up.

Our approach
How we run a house
Small on purpose
Six to ten residents per house. Big enough for a real community, small enough that your absence is noticed the same day.
Structure you can feel
Curfew, chores, house meetings, and random testing. Not to punish — because the shape of a day is the thing most of us lost first.
Peer-led, not managed
House leaders are residents who've been where you are. The house runs itself day to day, and the founders are a phone call away. That's the part that sticks.
Honest about money
One clear rate per house, posted publicly. No surprise charges. If you hit a rough patch, come talk to us before you disappear.
In the rate
- Your bed, furnished, in a shared or private room depending on the house
- All utilities — water, electric, gas, internet
- Basic household supplies and cleaning products
- Drug and alcohol testing
- House meetings and peer support
TrueNorth Living
What the first ninety days look like
What the next ninety days actually look like
You reach out
A phone call or a form at 3am. We answer, we ask a few questions, and we tell you straight whether we have a bed and whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll tell you who is.
You move in
Usually within 48 hours. You get a bed, a key, a drawer, and a house that already knows your name. First week you're just finding the coffee.
You find footing
Weekly house meeting, daily check-in, a curfew that loosens as you earn it. We help you get to work, to meetings, to court if that's where you need to be.
You go the distance
We encourage residents to stay long enough to build genuine stability, independence, and strong recovery routines. Length of stay will vary based on each resident's goals and progress. As our community grows, our goal is to create opportunities for residents to take on leadership roles and remain connected to the TrueNorth community even after moving into independent living. The door doesn't close behind you.
Not included
- Groceries and personal food
- Personal toiletries
- Phone, transportation, and personal expenses

Accountability
Standards and accountability
Texas does not license sober living homes at the state level, which means the burden of proving quality falls on operators. We think that's worth taking seriously rather than hiding behind.
TROHN certification — in progress
Working toward TROHN certification, the Texas NARR affiliate. Not certified yet.
Fair housing
Recovery is protected under the Fair Housing Act and the ADA. We follow that in every admission.
Clear house agreement
A written agreement covers rate, rules, testing and guests. You get your copy before you move in.
Small enough to know everyone
Every resident is known by name by the people running the house.
Our first house is opening soon.
We're filling our first house in the order people reach out. Call and we'll put you on the list.
