I live in Oxford House - MegDavis in Lynchburg. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations.
Oxford House has helped me to become more independent with staying clean, holding me accountable, and helping me to rebuild my life. Im learning to pay my bills on time, and having peer support.
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.
