What sober living costs in Pennsylvania, and how residents pay for it
Expect sober living in Pennsylvania to run about $165 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. Statewide, median gross rent in Pennsylvania runs $1,209 a month. For those who cannot pay, SCA contracts and HealthChoices reinvestment supportive housing are among the state-funded routes used. That money is administered by Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
How recovery housing is regulated in Pennsylvania
Whether a licence is needed in Pennsylvania depends on the setting; peer-run homes usually are not. Voluntary certification runs through Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences (PARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Certified homes in Pennsylvania are listed here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Pennsylvania Fair Housing Law (Human Relations Act) (43 Pennsylvania Statutes Section 955).
