Healing Housing, Inc.

What Healing Housing, Inc. does

Healing Housing, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee (also operating at sites in Franklin and Nashville) that delivers a year-long residential recovery housing and comprehensive support program for women without financial resources who are in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction and are facing homelessness. Its core product is a Housing First model — providing stable beds at two residences on a single lot before requiring employment or other prerequisites — augmented by a 60-hour dual-diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) delivered in partnership with Franklin Recovery Center using Dr. Stephanie Covington's gender-responsive curriculum, plus case management, psychiatric care, vocational training (Uprise Nashville), life skills, and relapse prevention services. The first 12 weeks of resident fees are covered by donors, with up to 60% of fees potentially refunded upon graduation. Ancillary offerings include a donations portal, the Lightkeepers monthly giving club, event merchandise, a volunteer program, a OneStep-powered application portal with a separate track for incarcerated women, and the 2025-launched 'Where We Meet' aerial/ballet performance with FALL Productions.

The business model is donation- and grant-driven rather than commercial. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time, recurring via Lightkeepers, memorial/tribute), corporate sponsorships (Churchill Mortgage since 2017, Integrative Life Center, Tyler Technologies, First Horizon Foundation, Erisa Consultants' dollar-for-dollar match), government grants (State of Tennessee TDMHSAS, Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council, Williamson County Opioid Task Force), planned giving (bequests, beneficiary designations), and event-based revenue (Love Breakfast fundraiser, Where We Meet ticket sales via Zeffy, merchandise at suggested donations). Go-to-market is community-led: residents are referred through drug courts, treatment centers, jails, and church networks rather than acquired through paid marketing, while donor acquisition is driven by the website, email newsletter, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), and community events. No technology platform, API, or AI capability is disclosed; the organization's IP is concentrated in its clinical curriculum, its referral ecosystem, and its lived-experience staff and alumni network.

Direct peers

• Hearthside Recovery Housing: Nonprofit operator of sober living homes for women in recovery from substance use disorders. Closely comparable in offering women-only recovery housing with integrated support services, donor-funded, but operating in a different state.
• Thistle Farms: Nashville-based nonprofit offering residential recovery and social enterprise employment for women survivors of trafficking, addiction, and abuse. Operates a similar Housing First, women-only recovery model in Middle Tennessee with comparable length of stay and integrated social services.
• Renewal House: Nashville nonprofit offering long-term residential recovery for women with substance use disorders and their children. Closely comparable service model, gender focus, and Tennessee market overlap with Healing Housing.
• Magdalene House: Nashville nonprofit providing long-term, free residential recovery for women with histories of addiction, prostitution, and incarceration. Directly comparable in mission (women-focused recovery housing), funding model (donor-funded, no cost to residents), and geographic market.
• SHIELDS for Families: Los Angeles-based nonprofit providing residential treatment, recovery housing, and family services for women with substance use and co-occurring disorders. Comparable integrated model combining housing, clinical care, and case management for women in recovery.

Broad incumbents

• Phoenix House: National nonprofit operating residential and outpatient substance use treatment programs. Comparable in providing recovery housing and IOP for adults with SUD, but at much larger scale and as a broad incumbent rather than a women-focused specialist.
• Volunteers of America Mid-States: Regional nonprofit operating recovery housing, reentry programs, and behavioral health services across Kentucky and Tennessee. Comparable as a multi-service nonprofit providing recovery housing for vulnerable populations, but at much broader scale and with mixed-gender programming.
• Oxford House: National network of democratically run, self-supporting sober living homes. Comparable in offering peer-run recovery housing but operates at much larger scale, is co-ed, and uses a self-pay model rather than donor-funded services.

Regional players

• Free Hearts: Tennessee-based nonprofit supporting people in recovery from opioid and substance use disorders through peer support, recovery housing referrals, and advocacy. Comparable mission and Tennessee footprint, focused on a broader recovery community rather than women-specific residential.

Emerging players

• The Other Side Academy: Salt Lake City-based nonprofit offering a long-term, peer-driven residential program for individuals transitioning from addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. Comparable in combining long-duration housing with self-help peer accountability, but co-ed and in a different region.
