About Greenfield Men’s Sober House
Greenfield Men's Sober House is sober living for men in Greenfield, Massachusetts, with 25 beds on Conway Street. Nine of the beds are in private rooms and sixteen are shared, and staff describe the rooms as a good size. There is plenty of parking in the lot, and the house sits on an FRTA bus route for trips around Franklin County. Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry, storage, premium cable and a computer station are all in the house, with counseling, jobs, groceries and parks nearby.
Recovery Housing Initiative operates Greenfield as a chartered home in the Vanderburgh Sober Living network. To live here a man must be working or actively engaged in recovery. The house meeting is Thursdays at 7pm, curfew is 11pm every day, and a House Mentor lives in the home; screening is random. Greenfield has no other network house, so men who want a city setting farther south can ask about Matt's Place Sober House, Prospect Men's Home or Pearl Sober House in Springfield, run by the same operator.

Life in Sober Living: Structure and Peer Support
Greenfield Men's is a house for twenty-five men in western Massachusetts, with good-sized rooms and nine private rooms among them. The house is peer-led, and the standard is simple: guests are expected to take responsibility for their own recovery and to support the men around them. A House Mentor lives in the home and is there for support and coaching, especially for new guests.
The house meets on Thursdays at 7 PM, and curfew is 11 PM every night. Random screening for drugs and alcohol covers every guest. New guests share the household responsibilities, keep a daily routine and are encouraged to use Greenfield's recovery network, including local 12-step meetings and outpatient programs.

Ways to Pay for Sober Living in Greenfield
Most guests pay for sober living themselves, weekly or monthly. Rent is not currently covered by insurance or state subsidy. There are still more ways to cover it than most people expect, and the three below are the ones that come up most often. If money is the only thing standing between you and a bed, say so on the application. We would rather have that conversation than lose you to it.
Private Pay
Paying yourself is the most common route. Rent is all-inclusive: utilities, WiFi, laundry and urine screening all come out of the weekly rate, so there is no second bill to plan around. Most guests cover it from wages, and the house schedule is built to make that possible.
Family Support
Families often cover the first few weeks while a guest gets back to work. That is a normal way to start, and nobody here will treat it as unusual. A parent, partner or sibling can pay the deposit and rent directly, and we will walk them through the house rules, the schedule, and what to expect in the first month.
One thing to be clear about: the agreement is with the guest, not with the family.
Grants & Scholarships
Some states fund recovery housing directly, through scholarships, bed subsidies, or reentry grants run by state agencies and nonprofits. The money is limited and the programs change, so ask early instead of assuming there is nothing. Put it on your application if you need help with funding.
