Cost of recovery housing in Delaware

Typical sober living in Delaware costs around $185 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Against that, the median gross rent in Delaware is $1,401 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program. Funding of this kind runs through Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by a house vote, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Certification and oversight in Delaware

Recovery housing in Delaware operates without a state licence. Voluntary certification runs through First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
