Cost of recovery housing in Louisiana
The going rate for sober living in Louisiana is around $155 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Statewide, median gross rent in Louisiana runs $1,064 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health is the state body to start with.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Louisiana
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Louisiana. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
