What a bed costs in Washington, and what help exists
Expect sober living in Washington to run about $215 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 statewide in Washington is $1,760 a month, for context. Residents short of the first payment often go through HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers or similar state funding. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery is where that funding sits.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, paid for by the members themselves and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are chosen by the existing membership, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Washington
Washington does not license this kind of housing. Voluntary standards are set by Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), 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. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
