COST & VALUE

A Rate That Reflects Reality—And Readiness

Sunstone’s rent structure is about more than affordability—it’s about preparing residents for life after recovery housing. Our cost model reflects what it actually takes to live independently, so when it’s time to leave, residents are ready.

We don’t undercharge to keep people comfortable. We charge what’s fair—and we support them every step of the way.

Strategic Support. Sustainable Independence.

Our True Cost: $40/Day

The full value of comprehensive, recovery-focused housing

This daily rate reflects everything it takes to provide a stable, supportive, and structured environment—far beyond just a bed and four walls. It represents our commitment to quality, safety, and long-term recovery outcomes.

This is the full cost of housing and support at Sunstone. It includes:

  • A clean, fully furnished residence
  • Utilities and on-site amenities
  • Staff support and accountability structure
  • Case coordination and partnership with certified outpatient providers

This $40/day rate is billed to:

  • Grant funders
  • Non-profit partners
  • State agencies
  • Private third-party payers
  • Financially Independent Residents

What Residents Pay: $30/Day

This is not a discount. It’s a strategic investment in your recovery and independence.

For residents who complete Sunstone’s 90-day stabilization program, we cover $10 per day of the total cost. This brings the resident rate to just $30/day—or $900/month.

Why $900/Month?

  • It mirrors real-world rent in Cincinnati (studio or one-bedroom apartment)
  • It’s affordable for residents who have recently secured employment
  • It creates healthy financial habits and realistic budgeting skills
  • It incentivizes forward movement and timely transition into permanent housing

This Model Works

Real income. Real progress. Real preparation.

Residents don’t just stabilize—they grow. By the time they reach Day 91, Sunstone residents are typically earning a median income of $2,360/month. That’s enough to:

  • Afford rent responsibly
  • Build savings
  • Transition confidently into permanent housing

We don’t just provide a place to stay. We help residents budget, plan, and prepare for what’s next.
