What sober living costs in Louisiana, and how residents pay for it
Sober living across Louisiana averages roughly $155 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, Louisiana's median gross rent is $1,064 monthly. For those who cannot pay, Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH are among the state-funded routes used. The agency behind it is Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved 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 treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
