Cost of recovery housing in North Carolina
A sober living bed in North Carolina usually costs about $170 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in North Carolina, for comparison, is $1,228 a month. 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 Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the current residents, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina
North Carolina does not license this kind of housing. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The certified-residence list for North Carolina 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).
