Recovery housing standards in Kentucky
Kentucky does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Voluntary certification runs through Kentucky Recovery Housing Network (KRHN), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence list for Kentucky is published here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Kentucky Fair Housing Law (Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 344.360).
