What a bed costs in Illinois, and what help exists

Sober living in Illinois typically runs around $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Illinois is $1,274 a month, for context. Help with the share is available through state programmes including IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

Illinois licenses some recovery housing but not the peer-run kind in most cases. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
