Paying for sober living in Pennsylvania

Help with the share is available through state programmes including SCA contracts and HealthChoices reinvestment supportive housing. Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is the state agency that oversees this funding.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in Pennsylvania
A state licence is required in Pennsylvania only in particular circumstances; most peer-run homes are not caught by it. Voluntary standards are set by Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences (PARR), 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. You can browse the certified residences in Pennsylvania. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Pennsylvania Fair Housing Law (Human Relations Act) (43 Pennsylvania Statutes Section 955).
