What a bed costs in Oregon, and what help exists
Expect sober living in Oregon to run about $195 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 comparison, median gross rent across Oregon is $1,525 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Medicaid HRSN housing benefit and DOC/county reentry funds. Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Oregon
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Oregon. Voluntary certification runs through Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421).
