Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
Across North Carolina, sober living generally runs about $170 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. Median gross rent statewide in North Carolina is $1,228 a month, for context. Residents short of the first payment often go through County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program or similar state funding. That money is administered by North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by the members themselves, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
North Carolina does not license this kind of housing. Voluntary certification runs through North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The state's list of certified residences is published here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
