How recovery housing is regulated in Illinois

Licensing in Illinois applies in certain cases only, and peer-run homes usually sit outside it. Homes that want certification apply to Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The certified-residence register for Illinois is online here. Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
