What a bed costs in Texas, and what help exists
Typical sober living in Texas costs around $185 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For scale, renting privately in Texas has a median gross rent of $1,403 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the state agency that oversees this funding.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are approved by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Texas
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Texas. The state's NARR affiliate, Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), certifies homes that choose to apply. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The certified-residence register for Texas is online here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
