Paying for sober living in Wisconsin
Sober living in Wisconsin typically runs around $155 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent in Wisconsin sits at $1,087 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Recovery Voucher Grant Program and Recovery Housing for Transition-Aged Adults. Funding of this kind runs through Wisconsin Department of Health Services - Recovery Residence Registry.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
How recovery housing is regulated in Wisconsin
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Wisconsin. Certification is voluntary and administered by Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing (WASH), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. Wisconsin publishes its certified-residence directory. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Wisconsin Open Housing Law (Wisconsin Statutes Section 106.50).
