Sober living costs and rent help in Missouri

Typical sober living in Missouri costs around $150 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. For scale, renting privately in Missouri has a median gross rent of $1,033 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as SOR Recovery Housing per-bed payment and RSS Access Site 90-day rent vouchers. Funding of this kind runs through Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery housing standards in Missouri

Recovery housing in Missouri operates without a state licence. Certification is voluntary and administered by Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Missouri Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (Missouri Revised Statutes Section 213.040).
