Sober living costs and rent help in Delaware
Sober living across Delaware averages roughly $185 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, Delaware's median gross rent is $1,401 monthly. Help with the share is available through state programmes including DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program. Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He is where that funding sits.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and required to stay substance-free. New members are approved by the current residents, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Delaware
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Delaware. Voluntary standards are set by First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Certified homes in Delaware are listed here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
