Sober living costs and rent help in Illinois

Across Illinois, sober living generally runs 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. For comparison, median gross rent across Illinois 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.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

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. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Certified homes in Illinois are listed here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
