What sober living costs in Texas, and how residents pay for it
Sober living across Texas averages roughly $185 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Against that, the median gross rent in Texas is $1,403 a month. Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Is sober living regulated in Texas?
Texas does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. 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. Texas publishes its certified-residence directory. Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
