Cost of recovery housing in Oregon
A sober living bed in Oregon usually costs about $195 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. By way of comparison, Oregon's median gross rent is $1,525 monthly. Residents short of the first payment often go through Medicaid HRSN housing benefit and DOC/county reentry funds or similar state funding. The agency behind it is Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Oregon
Oregon does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary certification runs through Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421).
