Sober living costs and rent help in Florida

A sober living bed in Florida usually costs about $205 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. Against that, the median gross rent in Florida is $1,669 a month. Florida Department of Children and Families is the state body to start with.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are voted in by the current residents, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Florida

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Florida. Certification is voluntary and administered by Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Certified homes in Florida are listed here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
