How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Is sober living regulated in Illinois?

Illinois requires a state licence in some circumstances; most peer-run homes fall outside it. 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. Certified homes in Illinois are listed here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) protect residents here.
