Sober living costs and rent help in Washington

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by the members themselves, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Is sober living regulated in Washington?
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Washington. Certification is voluntary and administered by Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
