What sober living costs in Washington, and how residents pay for it
Across Washington, sober living generally 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. For comparison, median gross rent across Washington 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. The agency behind it is Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Washington
Washington does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary standards are set by Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
