Cost of recovery housing in North Carolina
In North Carolina, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $170 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. For scale, renting privately in North Carolina has a median gross rent of $1,228 a month. State funding such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina
North Carolina does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as 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. Certified homes in North Carolina are listed here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
