What a bed costs in Nebraska, and what help exists
The going rate for sober living in Nebraska is around $155 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. By way of comparison, Nebraska's median gross rent is $1,072 monthly. Justice reentry per-day vouchers and Region 6 RRAP & TAYRAP are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Nebraska Dept. of Health & Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the current residents, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
How recovery housing is regulated in Nebraska
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Nebraska. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Nebraska Fair Housing Law (Nebraska Revised Statutes Section 20-318).
