Cost of recovery housing in Florida

Expect sober living in Florida to run about $205 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Florida is $1,669 a month, for context. Florida Department of Children and Families handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in Florida

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Florida. Certification is voluntary and administered by Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Certified homes in Florida are listed here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
