How recovery housing is regulated in Illinois

Licensing in Illinois applies in certain cases only, and peer-run homes usually sit outside it. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. 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).
