Oxford House Oregon

Housing resource

About

Oxford Houses are self-run, self-supporting sober homes, each run by the people who live there, with no staff on site. Find a house with an opening on the vacancy site, then call the house for an interview, and the members vote on whether you can move in. Each member pays an equal share of rent and bills. You can stay as long as you stay sober, are not disruptive, and pay your share.

Eligibility

Adults in recovery from alcohol or drug use. Houses are for men or for women, and some take parents with children. There is no minimum sober time, but any drinking or drug use means you have to leave. Each member pays an equal share of house costs, often $125 to $250 a week.
