Paying for sober living in Louisiana
In Louisiana, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $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. Against that, the median gross rent in Louisiana is $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.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Is sober living regulated in Louisiana?
Louisiana has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
