What sober living costs in Texas, and how residents pay for it
A sober living bed in Texas usually costs about $185 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. 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. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the state body to start with.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
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 answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
