How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Is sober living regulated in Washington?
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Washington. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. 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. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
