The cost of living at Tuscawilla Place is straightforward. No hidden fees. No complicated intake process. No waiting list that goes nowhere. $100 non-refundable application fee. Cash every Friday. That is the whole pricing picture.
If you are coming from a treatment center and have a grant arranged through your program, that pathway is available too. Call us and we will walk through it with you. Below is everything you need to know before you call.
$100 non-refundable application fee
Cash only
Every Friday, 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm
None. Payment is due on the Friday payment window without exception.
Available for qualifying residents transitioning from treatment centers. Arranged through the referring treatment center, not directly through Tuscawilla Place. Call to discuss.
Payment is made in cash every Friday between 3:00 and 6:30 pm. That payment window is followed by an on-site meeting, which is one of the reasons the timing is set the way it is. The weekly payment and the weekly meeting become part of the same rhythm.
There is no grace period. Payment is due on Friday in the payment window. This is not a punitive policy. It is a structure that treats residents as capable adults who can plan for a weekly obligation, which is exactly the kind of structure early recovery benefits from.
If you have a concern about payment timing before you move in, the right time to raise it is on the intake call, not after you have moved in. Paul and the team are straightforward about what is possible.
Some treatment centers offer grant programs that can cover the cost of sober living for qualifying residents transitioning out of a treatment program. At Tuscawilla Place, we accept residents under these grant arrangements.
How grant funding works:
The grant is arranged through the referring treatment center, not directly through Tuscawilla Place
Qualifying residents must have completed the required accountability steps during their treatment program
The grant typically covers the first period of residency for eligible individuals
The treatment center coordinates the arrangement before the resident moves in
If you are coming from a treatment program and believe you may qualify for grant funding, ask your case manager or counselor whether a sober living grant is available through your center. They will coordinate directly with us.
If you are a case manager at a treatment center with a grant program and want to discuss placing a client at Tuscawilla Place under that arrangement, see our Referral Partner page or call us directly.

Yes, for qualifying residents. Some treatment centers offer grant programs that can cover the cost of sober living for residents transitioning out of a treatment program. The grant is arranged through the referring treatment center, not directly through Tuscawilla Place. If you are coming from a treatment program, ask your case manager whether a sober living grant is available through your center.
Not necessarily. Tuscawilla Place accepts residents coming from treatment centers as well as individuals in early recovery who have not been through a formal treatment program. A genuine commitment to sobriety and willingness to follow the house rules are the requirements. Call us to discuss your specific situation.
Once you are approved and a bed is available, move-in can happen quickly. The process is a brief intake conversation, confirmation of your move-in date, and the $100 deposit on move-in day. Call or apply online and we will tell you what current availability looks like.
