What a bed costs in Louisiana, and what help exists
A sober living bed in Louisiana usually costs about $155 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Median gross rent in Louisiana sits at $1,064 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Certification and oversight in Louisiana
Louisiana does not licence recovery residences as facilities. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
