Who We Serve

Independent women ready for a place to call home

Oakline is private shared housing for adult women who live independently and manage their own daily needs. We provide housing only. No clinical services, no case management, no supervision. Just a clean, furnished, all inclusive home.

Independent Women Ready for Stable Housing

Oakline is for any adult woman who can live independently and has her rent covered. You may have come through a health crisis, a housing disruption, or a major life transition. What matters is that you are ready for a clean, structured, women-only environment and that you can manage your own daily personal needs without assistance from Oakline staff.

SSDI Recipients

Many Oakline residents receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). These are women who worked, paid into the system, and now need stable, affordable housing while managing a health condition. SSDI income provides a reliable monthly foundation, and Oakline's all-inclusive rate is designed to work within it. Some residents also work part-time under Social Security's Trial Work Period rules.

Women With Covered Rent

What matters to Oakline is that your housing costs are covered and you are ready to live independently. Whether rent is covered by employment, SSDI, SSI, a representative payee, a family member, or another source, if you can manage your own daily life and commit to the house standards, Oakline is a fit.

Female Veterans

Women who have served deserve a dignified, stable place to land. Oakline provides independent housing for female veterans building their civilian lives on their own terms.

Women Maintaining a Drug Free Lifestyle

Oakline homes are drug, alcohol, and smoke free indoors. We do not provide recovery services or supervision. Residents maintain their own lifestyle independently within a structured, sober household. Smoking is not permitted inside the home or in shared spaces.

Older Adult Women

Affordable, all inclusive shared housing for independent older women who value community, a consistent mailing address, and a worry free living environment without the burden of managing bills.

Women Referred by Caseworkers

We partner with social workers, housing coordinators, and referral coordinators across Chicagoland. If a caseworker has a woman who is ready for independent living, Oakline is ready to receive the referral.

Important: Oakline provides housing only. We do not provide medical care, therapy, supervision, case management, or any clinical services. Residents must be capable of independent living and managing their own daily personal needs. Any outside support arrangements are made independently by the resident through her own providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear often

Who is eligible to apply?

Any independent adult woman who can manage her own daily personal needs is welcome to apply. What matters is that your rent is covered, whether through SSDI, SSI, a representative payee, a family member, employment, or another source, and that you are ready for a structured, drug and alcohol free shared environment. Our residents include women receiving SSDI or SSI, working women, female veterans, and older women who want community without the burden of managing bills.

What utilities and amenities are included in the monthly rate?

Your monthly rate covers rent, all utilities (gas, electric, water), cable television, telephone, and all household supplies. There are no hidden or surprise costs. An optional shared pantry option is available separately for residents who want access to basic staples they prepare themselves.

Do you accept SSI and SSDI?

Yes. We work with women receiving both SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance). SSDI recipients are women who worked and contributed to Social Security before a disabling condition and often find Oakline's all-inclusive rate fits well within their monthly income. Some SSDI residents also work part time. We also work with representative payee companies and family members who pay on a resident's behalf.

How quickly can I move in?

Move-in timing depends on room availability, completion of background screening, and signing of the Licensee Agreement. When a matching room is available and screening is complete, move-in typically happens within a few business days of approval.

Is this a drug and alcohol free home?

Yes, absolutely. All Oakline properties are strictly drug and alcohol free. Smoking is not permitted inside the home or in any shared spaces. These rules protect every resident and ensure a safe, calm, and respectful environment for everyone in the home.

What kind of housing is this exactly?

Oakline is private, all inclusive shared housing. We provide housing only. We do not provide medical care, therapy, or clinical services of any kind. Residents live as members of a household and manage their own daily personal needs. Any outside support arrangements come from a resident's own providers.

Can caseworkers refer women to Oakline?

Yes. We actively partner with caseworkers, social workers, hospitals, and non-profit organizations throughout Chicago. Use the referral form on this page or email us directly at info@oaklinewomenssharedliving.com.

What is the minimum stay?

Oakline requires a minimum stay of 60 days. We are not a short term rental, nightly stay, or emergency shelter. We provide stable, consistent housing for independent adult women who are ready to commit to a structured shared living environment. Residents who stay longer are always welcome.
