Paying for sober living in Washington
In Washington, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $215 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. For scale, renting privately in Washington has a median gross rent of $1,760 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers. Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery is the state body to start with.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
How recovery housing is regulated in Washington
Washington has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. 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).
