Sober living costs and rent help in New Jersey
Expect sober living in New Jersey to run about $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 statewide in New Jersey is $1,720 a month, for context. Help with the share is available through state programmes including federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, paid for by the members themselves and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Is sober living regulated in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, a recovery residence must be licensed by the state. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. 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.
