Paying for sober living in Texas
Across Texas, sober living generally runs about $185 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. Against that, the median gross rent in Texas is $1,403 a month. 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.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved 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
Texas does not license this kind of housing. Voluntary certification runs through Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the state's NARR affiliate. 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. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
