What sober living costs in Oregon, and how residents pay for it
The going rate for sober living in Oregon is around $195 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Against that, the median gross rent in Oregon is $1,525 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as Medicaid HRSN housing benefit and DOC/county reentry funds. That money is administered by Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are chosen by the current residents, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
