Sober living costs and rent help in South Dakota

A sober living bed in South Dakota usually costs about $145 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. Median gross rent in South Dakota, for comparison, is $946 a month. Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 and SDHDA Security Deposit assistance are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. South Dakota Department of Social Services, Division of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery housing standards in South Dakota

South Dakota has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. South Dakota Fair Housing Law (South Dakota Codified Laws Section 20-13-20) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
