What sober living costs in Louisiana, and how residents pay for it
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 statewide in Louisiana is $1,064 a month, for context. Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Certification and oversight in Louisiana
Louisiana does not license this kind of housing. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
