A New Attitude Housing Review
Founded in 2014 in the Nashville suburb of Madison, Tennessee, A New Attitude Housing is a non-profit organization that provides sober living for men, including criminal justice clients. Their mission is to provide safe and structured housing so that clients can acclimate successfully back into society, while learning accountability and working on building a strong foundation in recovery.
Accommodations and Amenities
A New Attitude Housing is a quaint split-level style house that has a large front porch with Greek columns. Eight clients are accommodated in comfortably furnished, double-occupancy rooms. There is a food pantry, which is fully stocked. Some clients qualify for food stamp benefits, which assist towards the purchase of groceries. Meals are prepared in a fully equipped kitchen.
The house is located in on a bus line, and is in close proximity to shopping, employment opportunities, churches, and 12-step meetings. Bus passes are available for clients to assist them with job searches, as well as helping them get to medical and mental health appointments. A house manager lives on the premises, and oversees operations. Smoking is permitted outside in designated areas only.
