Cost of recovery housing in Kansas
The going rate for sober living in Kansas is around $155 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. Median gross rent statewide in Kansas is $1,060 a month, for context. The agency behind it is Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Behavioral Health Service.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are taken on by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Kansas
Kansas has no licensing regime for recovery housing. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Kansas Fair Housing Law (Kansas Statutes Section 44-1016) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
