Oklahoma City Sober Living Debate | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma City is heating up over a proposed sober-living facility by Jesus House at the old Sleep Inn — just 500 feet from Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School. Parents and property owners fear safety risks, citing state law that bans such facilities within 1,000 feet of schools. Jesus House counters that their program targets recovering individuals — no violent or sex offenders — with strict supervision, curfews, and drug testing. They argue the law doesn’t apply to their population and tout the site’s transit access and proximity to recovery meetings as key advantages. The Planning Commission has already approved zoning; City Council votes are set for September 15th, while backup locations are being eyed if needed.
