Cost of recovery housing in Missouri

Typical sober living in Missouri costs around $150 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. For scale, renting privately in Missouri has a median gross rent of $1,033 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as SOR Recovery Housing per-bed payment and RSS Access Site 90-day rent vouchers. Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

How recovery housing is regulated in Missouri

Missouri does not license this kind of housing. The state's NARR affiliate, Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP), certifies homes that choose to apply. 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. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Missouri Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (Missouri Revised Statutes Section 213.040).
