What sober living costs in Florida, and how residents pay for it

A sober living bed in Florida usually costs 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. Against that, the median gross rent in Florida is $1,669 a month. Florida Department of Children and Families is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Certification and oversight in Florida

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Florida. Voluntary certification runs through Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
