Sober living costs and rent help in Texas
In Texas, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $185 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent in Texas, for comparison, is $1,403 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES. Funding of this kind runs through Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
How recovery housing is regulated in Texas
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Texas. Homes that want certification apply to Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. You can browse the certified residences in Texas. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
