Cost of recovery housing in Washington
In Washington, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $215 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For comparison, median gross rent across Washington is $1,760 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers is the usual route. 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 self-governing households, self-funding and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Washington
Washington does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222) protect residents here.
