What a bed costs in Delaware, and what help exists

Typical sober living in Delaware costs around $185 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Against that, the median gross rent in Delaware is $1,401 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program or similar state funding. The agency behind it is Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by a house vote, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Recovery housing standards in Delaware

Delaware does not license this kind of housing. First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. 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. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
