What a bed costs in Illinois, and what help exists

In Illinois, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $170 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent statewide in Illinois is $1,274 a month, for context. State funding such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Illinois

Illinois's licensing requirement is conditional, and rarely reaches peer-run homes. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The certified-residence register for Illinois is online 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.
