Cost of recovery housing in Louisiana
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. For scale, renting privately in Louisiana has a median gross rent of $1,064 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH. The agency behind it is Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Certification and oversight in Louisiana
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Louisiana. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
