Sober living costs and rent help in Kentucky
Sober living across Kentucky averages roughly $145 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 Kentucky is $967 a month, for context. Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Dept. for Behavioral Health, Developme is the state body to start with.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
How recovery housing is regulated in Kentucky
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Kentucky. Homes that want certification apply to Kentucky Recovery Housing Network (KRHN), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Kentucky publishes its certified-residence directory. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Kentucky Fair Housing Law (Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 344.360).
