Sober living costs and rent help in Illinois

In Illinois, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Illinois is $1,274 a month, for context. For those who cannot pay, IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants are among the state-funded routes used. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is the state body to start with.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery housing standards in Illinois

Illinois requires a state licence in some circumstances; most peer-run homes fall outside it. The state's NARR affiliate, Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), certifies homes that choose to apply. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. You can browse the certified residences in Illinois. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
