What sober living costs in Louisiana, and how residents pay for it
The going rate for sober living in Louisiana is around $155 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Statewide, median gross rent in Louisiana runs $1,064 a month. State funding such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. The agency behind it is Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in Louisiana
Louisiana has no licensing regime for recovery housing. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
