Paying for sober living in Florida

Expect sober living in Florida to run 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. For scale, renting privately in Florida has a median gross rent of $1,669 a month. 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 the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

How recovery housing is regulated in Florida

Florida does not licence recovery residences as facilities. 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. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
