Fairhaven Homeless Shelter Costs & Pricing
The Fairhaven Homeless Shelter offers private accommodations at a monthly cost of $3,800, which is notably higher than the average cost of similar housing in Ouachita Parish, where the figure stands at $3,535. However, it remains more affordable compared to the broader state average in Louisiana, which reaches $4,521. This pricing structure indicates that while Fairhaven provides a premium option within its local context, it also serves as a competitive alternative to statewide rates. The shelter's costs reflect not only its commitment to providing supportive services but also the economic conditions and demand for private shelter options in both the parish and state levels.
