I live in Oxford House - Enchanted Woods in Harrisonburg. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations.
The Oxford House has been the support I didn't know I needed in my recovery. the opportunity provide to better my life, with the new family that cares about me and my recovery as much as I do, has strengthend my will to succeed. I am forever greatful for the program.
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.
