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 House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent in New Jersey sits at $1,720 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports or similar state funding. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in New Jersey
A state licence is required to operate a recovery residence in New Jersey. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Certified homes in New Jersey are listed here. New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
