What a bed costs in New Jersey, and what help exists
In New Jersey, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $210 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Against that, the median gross rent in New Jersey is $1,720 a month. federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau administers that funding at state level.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Certification and oversight in New Jersey
A state licence is required to operate a recovery residence in New Jersey. 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. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12).
