Cost of recovery housing in Florida

Sober living across Florida averages roughly $205 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. By way of comparison, Florida's median gross rent is $1,669 monthly. Florida Department of Children and Families handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Florida

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Florida. Certification is voluntary and administered by Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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 register for Florida is online here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
