Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the existing membership, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
How recovery housing is regulated in New Jersey
Operating a recovery residence in New Jersey requires a state licence. 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. New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
