Sober living costs and rent help in New Jersey
Sober living in New Jersey typically runs around $210 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in New Jersey sits at $1,720 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports or similar state funding. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in New Jersey
New Jersey licenses recovery residences as a matter of state law. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. New Jersey publishes its certified-residence directory. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) protect residents here.
