Cost of recovery housing in Florida

Sober living across Florida averages roughly $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 is the state agency that oversees this funding.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

How recovery housing is regulated in Florida

Recovery housing in Florida operates without a state licence. The state's NARR affiliate, Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The certified-residence list for Florida is published here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
