Paying for sober living in New York
Sober living in New York typically runs around $200 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. 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. Funding of this kind runs through New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
How recovery housing is regulated in New York
New York does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Voluntary standards are set by New York State Alliance of Recovery Residences (NYSARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under New York Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Law) (New York Executive Law Section 296).
