What sober living costs in Washington, and how residents pay for it
Across Washington, sober living generally runs about $215 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. For comparison, median gross rent across Washington is $1,760 a month. HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. The agency behind it is Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Washington
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Washington. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
