Wilson Street Oxford House
Project Description
In partnership with the Samaritan Community of the Memorial Episcopal Church, EHC secured financing for the renovation of this property donated by a former parishioner of the church. The Wilson Street Oxford House provides a home for 7 men to participate in the Oxford House program of support.
The Oxford House offers these men stable and permanent housing, with the necessary support services to assist in their substance abuse
recovery. The Oxford House offers a unique recovery house model because it is a democratically self-run recovery home. The three main principles of the Oxford House are: (1) the house must be democratically self-run; (2) the house membership is responsible for all household expenses; and (3) the house must immediately expel any member who uses alcohol or drugs.
