Sober living costs and rent help in Washington

A sober living bed in Washington usually costs about $215 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. By way of comparison, Washington's median gross rent is $1,760 monthly. For those who cannot pay, HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers are among the state-funded routes used. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery administers that funding at state level.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Washington

Washington does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
