Commenter: BRANDI MEADOWS TRILLIUM OXFORD HOUSE

recovery house reconstruction bill
 
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. 
 
Oxford has helped me build a more stronger foundation of sobriety to succeed and live a normal life completely substance free.
 
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.
