What a bed costs in New Jersey, and what help exists
Typical sober living in New Jersey costs around $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. Median gross rent in New Jersey sits at $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 administers that funding at state level.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the current residents, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in New Jersey
New Jersey licenses recovery residences as a matter of state law. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. The certified-residence list for New Jersey is published here. New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
