Paying for sober living in New York

Sober living across New York averages roughly $200 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. For scale, renting privately in New York has a median gross rent of $1,621 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through OASAS Permanent Supportive Housing brands and OTDA/DSS Public Assistance shelter allowance or similar state funding. New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in New York

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in New York. New York State Alliance of Recovery Residences (NYSARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by New York Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Law) (New York Executive Law Section 296).
