Cost of recovery housing in Illinois

A sober living bed in Illinois usually costs about $170 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Against that, the median gross rent in Illinois is $1,274 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants. That money is administered by Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are voted in 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. Certification is voluntary and administered by Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the NARR affiliate for the state. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The certified-residence list for Illinois is published here. Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
