Sober living costs and rent help in Florida

In Florida, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $205 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Statewide, median gross rent in Florida runs $1,669 a month. Florida Department of Children and Families administers that funding at state level.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the existing membership, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Certification and oversight in Florida

Florida has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Voluntary certification runs through Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
