Paying for sober living in New Jersey
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. Statewide, median gross rent in New Jersey runs $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 the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the existing membership, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
How recovery housing is regulated in New Jersey
Recovery residences in New Jersey are subject to state licensing. 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. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12).
