Cost of recovery housing in Illinois

A sober living bed in Illinois usually costs about $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. For comparison, median gross rent across Illinois is $1,274 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants. Funding of this kind runs through Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are taken on by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Certification and oversight in Illinois

Illinois requires a state licence in some circumstances; most peer-run homes fall outside it. Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The certified-residence register for Illinois is online here. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
