What sober living costs in Louisiana, and how residents pay for it
Across Louisiana, sober living generally runs 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. For comparison, median gross rent across Louisiana is $1,064 a month. For those who cannot pay, Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH are among the state-funded routes used. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are interviewed and admitted by the members themselves, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Certification and oversight in Louisiana
Louisiana does not license this kind of housing. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
