Sober living costs and rent help in Illinois

Expect sober living in Illinois to run about $170 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in Illinois

Whether a licence is needed in Illinois depends on the setting; peer-run homes usually are not. Voluntary standards are set by Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
