Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina is $1,228 a month. For those who cannot pay, County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program are among the state-funded routes used. Funding of this kind runs through North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Certification and oversight 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. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
