How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the members themselves, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

A state licence is required in Illinois only in particular circumstances; most peer-run homes are not caught by it. Certification is voluntary and administered by Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The state's list of certified residences 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).
