How the Oxford House model works
Oxford House residences follow a distinctive peer-run model. Each home is democratically self-governed by its members, financially self-supporting, and maintained as a drug- and alcohol-free residence. Rather than relying on an on-site house manager, residents share household responsibilities, elect officers, manage expenses, and make decisions affecting the home. That member-led structure is central to Oxford House sober living.
Contacting the house and requesting an interview
Admission to an Oxford House involves an interview with the people who already live in the home. Current members make the membership decision, so the interview is an opportunity for both the applicant and the house to evaluate fit. Confirm the interview time in advance and ask directly about costs, payment timing, sobriety expectations, household responsibilities, and when an accepted resident could move in.
