Questions people ask us
What does the monthly rate cover?
Your furnished room, all utilities, Wi-Fi, laundry, and furnished shared spaces, including a kitchen stocked with cookware and dishes. Food isn't included. The rate we quote is the amount you pay each month.
Is my room private?
At our first home, every bedroom is private. The kitchen, bathroom, living room, and laundry are shared. Some future homes will also offer shared rooms at a lower rate.
Can I apply with bad credit or a criminal record?
Yes. We review each person individually and talk with you before making a decision.
Do you accept SSI, SSDI, or VA benefits?
Yes. We also work with representative payees and programs that pay rent on a resident's behalf.
What are the house rules?
The home is smoke-free, drug-free, and alcohol-free, with zero tolerance for violence or harassment. Residents share chores, attend a weekly house meeting, and respect quiet hours. You'll review and sign the full house rules before you move in.
Who is a good fit?
Adults who can handle their own daily needs, can pay rent each month, are committed to a sober home, and are ready to share a house as a household. We provide housing, not personal care or medical services.
What do I pay to move in, and when is rent due?
A deposit and your first month's rent are due before move-in. After that, rent is due between the 1st and the 4th of each month. We prefer card or electronic payment.
Where are your homes?
Our homes are in the South Carolina Midlands, in and around the Columbia area. We plan to expand into North Carolina.
