Paying for sober living in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $210 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Median gross rent in New Jersey, for comparison, is $1,720 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are voted in by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery housing standards in New Jersey
Recovery residences in New Jersey are subject to state licensing. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. New Jersey publishes its certified-residence directory. New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
