Cost of recovery housing in Texas
The going rate for sober living in Texas is around $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. By way of comparison, Texas's median gross rent is $1,403 monthly. State funding such as Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are voted in by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery housing standards in Texas
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Texas. Certification is voluntary and administered by Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
