Cost of recovery housing in Washington
The going rate for sober living in Washington is around $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 statewide in Washington is $1,760 a month, for context. 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 handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on by the existing membership, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Certification and oversight in Washington
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Washington. The state's NARR affiliate, Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
