This Is More Than a Sober-Living Trend

Recovery residences are becoming part of a more organized and professional recovery ecosystem. Texas is funding expansion, national standards are being implemented, and more attention is being placed on safe, ethical, professionally operated housing.

  • Texas approved major funding specifically aimed at expanding recovery housing capacity.
  • Large portions of the state remain underserved by recovery housing.
  • Recovery residences are increasingly operating under nationally recognized standards.
  • Texas research challenges the assumption that recovery housing automatically harms neighborhood property values.
  • For the right property, the revenue structure may look very different from a conventional rental.

What Could a Different Property Model Look Like?

A conventional rental typically produces one monthly rent payment from one household. A recovery residence may operate under a resident-based revenue model.

Example
Monthly Rate
Gross Monthly Revenue
6 Residents
$950 per resident
$5,700
8 Residents
$950 per resident
$7,600
10 Residents
$950 per resident
$9,500

These are gross-revenue illustrations only and are not guarantees of revenue or profit. Actual results depend on legal capacity, occupancy, operating expenses, staffing, utilities, insurance, maintenance, marketing, compliance, and the specific property.
