Cost of recovery housing in Illinois

Sober living across Illinois averages roughly $170 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Statewide, median gross rent in Illinois runs $1,274 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants or similar state funding. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an administers that funding at state level.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by the people already living there, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Illinois

Some recovery housing in Illinois needs a state licence; peer-run homes generally do not. Voluntary certification runs through 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 certified-residence list for Illinois is published here. 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).
