What a bed costs in Illinois, and what help exists

Expect sober living in Illinois to run about $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent in Illinois sits at $1,274 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants is the usual route. Funding of this kind runs through Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, financially self-supporting and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are taken on by the existing membership, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Is sober living regulated in Illinois?

A state licence is required in Illinois only in particular circumstances; most peer-run homes are not caught by it. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. 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).
