Recovery residence standards and oversight in Kansas
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Kansas. 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. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Kansas Fair Housing Law (Kansas Statutes Section 44-1016).
