How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Is sober living regulated in Illinois?

Illinois's licensing requirement is conditional, and rarely reaches peer-run homes. Voluntary certification runs through Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
