What a bed costs in Oregon, and what help exists
Expect sober living in Oregon to run about $195 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. Median gross rent statewide in Oregon is $1,525 a month, for context. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as Medicaid HRSN housing benefit and DOC/county reentry funds is the usual route. Oregon Health Authority, Health Systems Division is the state body to start with.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, financially self-supporting and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Certification and oversight in Oregon
Oregon has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. The certified-residence list for Oregon is published here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Oregon Fair Housing Law (Oregon Revised Statutes Section 659A.421).
