Beds, fees, applications, house agreements, check-ins, notes and outcomes for programs that house people while they get back on their feet. Sober Living Companion runs it in one place for a flat $60/month, unlimited houses and residents, with a free app for every resident. It's a program of Empower Next Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

The original use: rent, drug tests, curfew and meeting accountability, signed house rules and a free recovery app for residents. The full guide โ
Passes, curfew GPS check-ins, meeting attendance and timestamped notes give a probation officer or a court the record they ask for without a manager reconstructing it from texts.
Track each resident's steps toward permanent housing and employment with your own weekly or monthly check-in questions, enrolled for a whole house at once, with the answers reported for funders.
Flat pricing that doesn't rise when you fill a bed, tax-deductible because the platform itself is run by a 501(c)(3), and no data ever sold.
A bed board per house shows who is where and what is open, so a referral call gets an answer in seconds. Bed management โ
Weekly, monthly or daily fees, partial payments tracked, and payment by card, CashApp, Zelle or Venmo. Card payments made in the app are recorded automatically. Fee collection โ
Your own online application with e-signature, a house dropdown, and questions you can edit. Completed applications wait under Pending Admission with everything the applicant entered.
House rules and program agreements e-signed in the app or a browser link, with a signing certificate. Staff can pre-fill an agreement before sending it. Case notes stay on the resident's record, visible to staff only.
Built-in measures for housing status, employment, recovery capital and more, plus your own questionnaires. Automatic check-ins at intake, monthly, quarterly, at exit and after exit, with retention and follow-up results exported as CSV. Outcomes measurement โ
Residents see their fees, sign their forms, check in, and reach help in a crisis. Recovery tools are there for those who want them. About the free app โ
Software for programs that house people for a period while they work toward stability: recovery residences, reentry and emergency housing, and transitional living. It tracks who is in which bed, fees and payments, intake applications, house rules and agreements, check-ins, case notes and outcomes such as housing and employment status. Sober Living Companion covers all of this for a flat $60/month.
Yes. Beds, fees, applications, agreements, notes and outcomes are the same job in reentry, emergency and transitional housing. Recovery features such as sober-day counters and meeting check-ins are there for residents who want them and can be ignored by those who don't.
Yes. Build your own check-in questions in Outcomes (for example, what steps were taken toward permanent housing this week), enroll residents or whole houses, and the app emails the check-in weekly or monthly. Answers roll into the outcomes report with CSV export, alongside the built-in housing and employment status measures.
No. It is not an HMIS and does not replace one where a funder requires HMIS entry. Its exports are plain CSV so data can be entered or reconciled where needed.
$60 per month for the whole organization, however many houses and residents, with the resident app free. There is no per-bed or per-user pricing.
