Cost of recovery housing in Illinois

Sober living across Illinois averages roughly $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. Median gross rent in Illinois, for comparison, is $1,274 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is the state body to start with.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

In Illinois licensing bites only in some cases, and not normally on peer-run homes. The state's NARR affiliate, Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. 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.
