How Oxford House membership works

Recovery housing standards in Florida

There is no state licence for recovery residences in Florida. Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. 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. You can browse the certified residences in Florida. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23).
