What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Washington
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Washington. The state's NARR affiliate, Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222) protect residents here.
