How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by a house vote, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated 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. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
