Cost of recovery housing in Pennsylvania
Typical sober living in Pennsylvania costs around $165 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Against that, the median gross rent in Pennsylvania is $1,209 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as SCA contracts and HealthChoices reinvestment supportive housing. Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Recovery housing standards in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's licensing requirement is conditional, and rarely reaches peer-run homes. Homes that want certification apply to Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences (PARR), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Pennsylvania Fair Housing Law (Human Relations Act) (43 Pennsylvania Statutes Section 955).
