Cost of recovery housing in New Jersey
A sober living bed in New Jersey usually costs 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, 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 administers that funding at state level.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on 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
A state licence is required to operate a recovery residence in New Jersey. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. New Jersey publishes its certified-residence directory. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and New Jersey Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (New Jersey Revised Statutes Section 10:5-12) protect residents here.
