Cost of recovery housing in Washington
Sober living across Washington averages roughly $215 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. For scale, renting privately in Washington has a median gross rent of $1,760 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers is the usual route. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery is the state body to start with.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Washington
Washington has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Certification is voluntary and administered by Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
