The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Kentucky does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary standards are set by Kentucky Recovery Housing Network (KRHN), the state's NARR affiliate. 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. The certified-residence register for Kentucky is online here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Kentucky Fair Housing Law (Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 344.360).
