2004 Recovery Housing Legislative Efforts
Oxford House, an independent and sober living environment,  provides sober living for those in 12step recovery groups like AA and NA faced tremendous opposition to federal laws supporting their rights to live in recovery homes in Louisiana's  Jefferson Parish. 

One legislator,  Steve Scalise (R) has filed legislation that would block Louisiana's Office for Addictive Disorders from contracting with Oxford Houses across the state.  This legislation that has passed the full House, if passed would violate federal housing law, which disallows such discrimination against recovering alcoholics and addicts.
