I live in Oxford House - Mike Shutrump in Richmond. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations. Coming home, I didn't know where I'd land. Oxford House gave me a safe place to live, brothers who keep me honest, and a say in how our home is run. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm building a life instead of just getting by. 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
