What a bed costs in Nebraska, and what help exists

Expect sober living in Nebraska to run about $155 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For comparison, median gross rent across Nebraska is $1,072 a month. For those who cannot pay, Justice reentry per-day vouchers and Region 6 RRAP & TAYRAP are among the state-funded routes used. Nebraska Dept. of Health & Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Nebraska

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.
