What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
How recovery housing is regulated in Oregon
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Oregon. Voluntary standards are set by Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), the state's NARR affiliate. 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. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421).
