What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the members themselves, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

Some recovery housing in Illinois needs a state licence; peer-run homes generally do not. The state's NARR affiliate, Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. You can browse the certified residences in Illinois. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
