What sober living costs in Louisiana, and how residents pay for it
Typical sober living in Louisiana costs around $155 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent in Louisiana, for comparison, is $1,064 a month. State funding such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. That money is administered by Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are approved by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Louisiana
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Louisiana. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
