We are about to open our 4th home which is a home dedicated to veterans! We could use help in furnishing the home nicely for them. We have an Amazon wish list but want people to know the items do not have to be exact or from Amazon specifically. Also include that Lowe’s is helping us with some discounted items, so a Lowe’s gift card and monetary donations are greatly appreciated as well..

Friends House Ministries

After several years of working with men through counseling centers, the district attorney’s office, local jails, and Celebrate Recovery, there was an obvious need for a faith-based recovery program in the Chattanooga area.

Sober Living Home Chattanooga

Who we are

Friends House Ministries is a faith-based ministry that started in September 2019. Friends House makes housing affordable for men seeking freedom from addiction – it is a Class 1 sober living home recognized by the state of Tennessee. We seek to help men, and therefore families also, become free of addiction through safe, affordable housing, to help men obtain employment, pay off debts, & learn new life skills. 

Our Homes

We currently have 3 homes that house 21 men. These men are required to work, pay weekly rent, and attend recovery meetings – one of which should be a local church meeting. Our homes are close to the bus line so men may easily get to jobs and meetings if they are without a vehicle. Men have come to Friends House through agencies such as drug court, rehabilitation facilities, judges, jail, homeless healthcare, and other ministries. We stay at 100% occupancy most of the time.

Residents are interviewed before acceptance and must be sober. There are expectations in attitude, behavior, and goals with which they must agree before entering. Violation of these expectations could result in loss of residency. We seek to do all we can to encourage success in sobriety and return to a productive, happy life. Residents cannot have a violent offense or a sexual offense charge against them.
