What a bed costs in Washington, and what help exists
In Washington, a bed in sober living commonly runs 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. Median gross rent in Washington, for comparison, is $1,760 a month. 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 is the state body to start with.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Certification and oversight in Washington
Washington has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Homes that want certification apply to Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. 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).
