The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, financially self-supporting and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery housing standards in Illinois

In Illinois licensing bites only in some cases, and not normally on peer-run homes. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. 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).
