What a bed costs in Texas, and what help exists
In Texas, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $185 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Against that, the median gross rent in Texas is $1,403 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as Be Well Texas vouchers and Project HOMES. Texas Health and Human Services Commission handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Recovery housing standards in Texas
Recovery housing in Texas operates without a state licence. Certification is voluntary and administered by Texas Recovery Oriented Housing Network (TROHN), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Texas Fair Housing Law (Texas Property Code Section 301.021) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
