Cost of recovery housing in New Jersey
A sober living bed in New Jersey usually costs about $210 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Statewide, median gross rent in New Jersey runs $1,720 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports is the usual route. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Certification and oversight in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a recovery residence must be licensed by the state. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The state's list of certified residences is published here. New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
