I live in oxford house Madison Valley in Harrisonburg, VA. Oxford houses are democratically self governing and self supporting under the oxford house system of operations. With me being an addict and living with other addicts who can relate to my story and struggles has given me a new outlook on life and encourages me to better myself constantly. 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 operators.
