What a bed costs in Oregon, and what help exists
Sober living across Oregon averages roughly $195 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. For scale, renting privately in Oregon has a median gross rent of $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 is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on by the current residents, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Is sober living regulated in Oregon?
Oregon has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. You can browse the certified residences in Oregon. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421) protect residents here.
