What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are chosen by the current residents, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Is sober living regulated in Illinois?

Illinois requires a state licence in some circumstances; most peer-run homes fall outside it. Voluntary certification runs through Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate. 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. Illinois publishes its certified-residence directory. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
