Cost of recovery housing in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $210 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. Statewide, median gross rent in New Jersey runs $1,720 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau administers that funding at state level.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by those already in the home, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Operating a recovery residence in New Jersey requires a state licence. 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.
