Sober living costs and rent help in Florida

A sober living bed in Florida usually costs about $205 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. 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

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Is sober living regulated in Florida?

Florida does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Homes that want certification apply to Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Florida publishes its certified-residence directory. Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
