Sober living costs and rent help in Arizona

Across Arizona, sober living generally runs about $195 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. By way of comparison, Arizona's median gross rent is $1,543 monthly. Residents short of the first payment often go through AHCCCS Housing Program and H2O demonstration or similar state funding. Arizona Department of Health Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the existing membership, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Certification and oversight in Arizona

Recovery residences in Arizona are subject to state licensing. Certification is voluntary and administered by Arizona Recovery Housing Association (AzRHA), the NARR affiliate for the state. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Certified homes in Arizona are listed here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Arizona Fair Housing Law (Arizona Revised Statutes Section 41-1491.14).
