What a bed costs in Texas, and what help exists
In Texas, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $185 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent statewide in Texas is $1,403 a month, for context. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES is the usual route. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Certification and oversight in Texas
Texas does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Certification is voluntary and administered by Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. The certified-residence register for Texas is online here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
