Paying for sober living in Texas
Expect sober living in Texas to run about $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. 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. Texas Health and Human Services Commission administers that funding at state level.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Certification and oversight in Texas
Recovery housing in Texas operates without a state licence. Voluntary standards are set by Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
