What a bed costs in Kansas, and what help exists

Expect sober living in Kansas to run about $155 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in Kansas sits at $1,060 a month. Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Behavioral Health Service is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Is sober living regulated in Kansas?

Kansas does not license this kind of housing. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Kansas Fair Housing Law (Kansas Statutes Section 44-1016).
