Cost of recovery housing in Illinois

Across Illinois, sober living generally runs about $170 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. For comparison, median gross rent across Illinois is $1,274 a month.

Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

How recovery housing is regulated in Illinois

Some recovery housing in Illinois needs a state licence; peer-run homes generally do not. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. Certified homes in Illinois are listed here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
