Oxfor houses are democratically self -governing and self supporting under the Oxford house system of operations.oxford house has changed my entire life and so many great ways it taught me how to be a better man help me be a better father,friend and brother I’m so grateful and would love to see the next man experience what I have .I support rules that keep people safe.but rules the require or assume every home is a commercial business would keep oxford houses from operating in Virginia.even though our research shows our model gets the best results please change those rules and please clarify that house members are considered the operators .thank you George Overton from Deerspring house in Williamsburg Va
