Sober living costs and rent help in Colorado
Sober living across Colorado averages roughly $215 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Median gross rent in Colorado sits at $1,761 a month. CDOC Community Re-Entry short-term rent and Medicaid HRSN Supportive Housing are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Colorado Behavioral Health Administration is where that funding sits.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Colorado
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Colorado. Certification is voluntary and administered by Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences (CARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Colorado Fair Housing Law (Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-34-502).
