What a bed costs in Nebraska, and what help exists
Across Nebraska, sober living generally runs about $155 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. Median gross rent in Nebraska, for comparison, is $1,072 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as Justice reentry per-day vouchers and Region 6 RRAP & TAYRAP. The agency behind it is Nebraska Dept. of Health & Human Services, Division of Behavioral Health.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, paid for by the members themselves and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Nebraska
Nebraska does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Nebraska Fair Housing Law (Nebraska Revised Statutes Section 20-318).
