How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery housing standards in Illinois

Illinois licenses some recovery housing but not the peer-run kind in most cases. Voluntary standards are set by Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
