Paying for sober living in New Jersey
Sober living in New Jersey typically runs around $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. For comparison, median gross rent across New Jersey is $1,720 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as federal Recovery Housing Program and NJ FamilyCare Housing Supports is the usual route. New Jersey Dept. of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, Bureau handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and required to stay substance-free. New members are voted in by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Is sober living regulated in New Jersey?
