What a bed costs in Illinois, and what help exists

A sober living bed in Illinois usually costs about $170 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. Median gross rent in Illinois, for comparison, is $1,274 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants is the usual route. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is where that funding sits.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

Illinois's licensing requirement is conditional, and rarely reaches peer-run homes. Voluntary standards are set by 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. The certified-residence list for Illinois is published here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
