What a bed costs in Oregon, and what help exists
Across Oregon, sober living generally runs 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. Median gross rent statewide in Oregon is $1,525 a month, for context. Residents short of the first payment often go through Medicaid HRSN housing benefit and DOC/county reentry funds or similar state funding. Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division administers that funding at state level.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by a house vote, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Is sober living regulated in Oregon?
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Oregon. Certification is voluntary and administered by Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. Oregon publishes its certified-residence directory. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421).
