Cost of recovery housing in Texas
In Texas, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $185 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. By way of comparison, Texas's median gross rent is $1,403 monthly. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES. That money is administered by Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Certification and oversight in Texas
Texas has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Voluntary certification runs through Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. Certified homes in Texas are listed here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
