I live in Oxford House - MegDavis in Lynchburg. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations.
Living in an Oxford House has given me my life back. I have gotten custody of my son back thanks to Oxford House. Living in a recovery house such as Oxford has been vital to my recovery. I am now a year clean with a bright future ahead of me.
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.
