Oxford House to main self governing
 

Oxford House has been an integral part of my recovery. The way it is democratically ran and self govern I believe is 100% the reason for its success, as well as mine. I support rules that keep people safe, but rules that require staff or assume every home is a commercial business would keep Oxford Houses from operating in Virginia, even though research shows our model gets the best results. Please change those rules, and please clarify whether house members are considered the operator.
