What a bed costs in North Carolina, and what help exists
Typical sober living in North Carolina costs around $170 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent in North Carolina, for comparison, is $1,228 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are voted in by the members themselves, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
How recovery housing is regulated in North Carolina
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in North Carolina. The state's NARR affiliate, North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. 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. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
