What sober living costs in Washington, and how residents pay for it

Typical sober living in Washington costs around $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. Median gross rent in Washington, for comparison, is $1,760 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery administers that funding at state level.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are chosen by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Washington

There is no state licence for recovery residences in Washington. Homes that want certification apply to Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state NARR affiliate. 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. 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).
