What sober living costs in Washington, and how residents pay for it
A sober living bed in Washington usually costs about $215 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. For scale, renting privately in Washington has a median gross rent of $1,760 a month. State funding such as HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, paid for by the members themselves and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the existing membership, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery housing standards in Washington
Recovery housing in Washington operates without a state licence. 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. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
