Cost of recovery housing in Illinois
Across Illinois, sober living generally runs about $170 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in Illinois sits at $1,274 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants is the usual route. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is the state agency that oversees this funding.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, self-funding and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are accepted by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in Illinois
Some recovery housing in Illinois needs a state licence; peer-run homes generally do not. Homes that want certification apply to Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
