Sober living costs and rent help in New Jersey
The going rate for sober living in New Jersey is around $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. 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 administers that funding at state level.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
How recovery housing is regulated in New Jersey
Recovery housing in New Jersey operates under a state licence. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12).
