Sober living costs and rent help in Texas
Across Texas, sober living generally runs about $185 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Median gross rent in Texas sits at $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. The agency behind it is Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by the members themselves, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Texas
Recovery housing in Texas operates without a state licence. Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The certified-residence register for Texas is online here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
