I live in a recovery home with 7 other women. I love it and the accountability it provides. Sometimes some of the new ladies ask me to be there sponsor. I am sponsoring women, but i think it could cause a conflict of interest if i was to sponsor someone in my home. What do you guys think?
When I lived in a recovery home, we all tended to look after each other, so sponsoring someone inside the house wasn’t needed. We were told to expand our sober network and get a sponsor from a local meeting.
That forced us to meet more recovery people in the local community and prepared us for when we would leave the sober house.

Never lived in one of those places wasnt any about when i got sober here in Scotland but maybe suggest that it would be better if they got one at a meeting wish you well

Personally I found a sponsor not a member of my AA group. She does visit time to time and most know her. My meeting group is very important to me. I think keeping sponsorship separate gives one the opportunity to express/share more honestly.
