Paying for sober living in Missouri
A sober living bed in Missouri usually costs about $150 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Statewide, median gross rent in Missouri runs $1,033 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through SOR Recovery Housing per-bed payment and RSS Access Site 90-day rent vouchers or similar state funding. That money is administered by Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by the existing membership, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Missouri
Recovery housing in Missouri operates without a state licence. Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. 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. 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).
