I live in Oxford House - New Perspective in Harrisonburg. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations. 

this house hads been good for me its a good place to be and i like been here because it is helping me out alot and its is working for 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.
