Cost of recovery housing in Illinois
A sober living bed in Illinois usually costs about $170 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. By way of comparison, Illinois's median gross rent is $1,274 monthly. 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 administers that funding at state level.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Illinois
Illinois requires a state licence in some circumstances; most peer-run homes fall outside it. Homes that want certification apply to Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
