The owner of 2nd Chances Sober Housing in St. Cloud says more than 100 men have stayed there since it opened in 2006.
But now the organization has shut down due to financial difficulties.
It rented rooms as transitional housing to men 18 and older struggling with addiction who often otherwise would not have a place to stay during their recovery.
The organization's two properties could house a total of a dozen men at a time.

Owner Al Colbert tells the St. Cloud Times that the rent varied from $395 to $450 a month, depending upon whether the tenant wanted to share a room.
