I recently listened to a podcast with Mindy and Scott. Sept 10 Episode # 562 This couple was on who purchases homes and then rent them out to a sobriety program. The rent is guaranteed by other tenants, the regional chapter or the state will pay the rent.
I've tried to Google and figure out what sobriety program this is. I did send a message through Instagram to Mindy, but I don't think she was active. Is there anyone that could help me find this information or maybe post another forum? thanks for your help!
Try researching organizations like Oxford House, which operates sober living homes nationwide, or check directories like TransitionalHousing.org for recovery housing programs in your area. Contact local addiction recovery groups I.E. AA or NA or state housing authorities that fund recovery-focused housing.
Hi Jane, I know this thread is a few months old but wanted to jump in since this topic comes up a lot.
It sounds like the podcast may have been referring to a model where the operator or sponsoring organization pays rent to the landlord, rather than individual tenants. In some cases, that rent is backed by state contracts, regional organizations, or grant programs, depending on the operator's setup. Programs like ATR (Access to Recovery), Project NORTH, and various state-funded sober living initiatives often play a role here.
We actually help match landlords with qualified sober living operators and, in certain situations, provide limited lease guarantees through our agency. If you're still trying to identify what the couple was referring to or want to explore leasing to a recovery home operator, I’d be happy to share more or point you in the right direction.
