Sober living costs and rent help in Oregon
Sober living in Oregon typically runs around $195 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly.

The agency behind it is Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Oregon
Oregon does not license this kind of housing. Voluntary standards are set by Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. 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.
