What a bed costs in Texas, and what help exists
Sober living across Texas averages roughly $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. For comparison, median gross rent across Texas is $1,403 a month. 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 Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Certification and oversight in Texas
Texas does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Voluntary standards are set by Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), 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. The certified-residence list for Texas is published here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
