What sober living costs in Texas, and how residents pay for it
Sober living across Texas averages roughly $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 sits at $1,403 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES or similar state funding. 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, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are voted in by the existing membership, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Is sober living regulated in Texas?
Texas has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. The certified-residence list for Texas is published here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021).
