How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Certification and oversight in Alabama

Recovery housing in Alabama operates without a state licence. Certification is voluntary and administered by Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence list for Alabama is published here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4).
