LENGTH OF RESIDENCE

? The Salvation Army offers emergency shelter. Each client is permitted a length of stay not to
exceed 30 days from initial check in. Within the first seven days of staying in the shelter, the resident must meet with the Residential Services Manager for an extension. If a resident vacates the Shelter within those 30 days, they may not return for additional shelter without seeing a Residential Services Manager. Only one 30 day residence within a one year period (Program Year = October-September) will be allowed.

? Only under permitted circumstances are Emergency Shelter residents allowed an overnight pass. Circumstances such as funerals for immediate family members, court appearances in a different city or other circumstances may be granted permission. Documentation of the circumstance must

be presented to the Residential Services Manager before and after leaving the shelter. Failure to produce supportive documentation may not allow re-entry into the Emergency Shelter.

CASE MANAGEMENT

? Each resident is required to meet with the Residential Services Manager as soon as possible but no longer than 7 days. Resident may be granted up to 30 days in Emergency Shelter.

? For every 30 day stay in the shelter, we ask that each resident fill out a survey to help the Salvation Army measure outcomes on helping people meet their goals and improve their lives.

? Each resident will complete the client intake form. This will help determine any needs the Residential Services Manager is able to assist with or make appropriate referrals. Residents may set goals to help pursue self-sufficiency. Residential Services Manager will assist resident in achieving these goals.

? Each resident must meet with the Residential Services Manager on a weekly or bi weekly basis. If the client is not working, they must meet on a weekly basis. If the client is working, they may meet every two weeks. This will be determined by the Residential Services Manager. Drop in appointments are discouraged. Each appointment must be made with the receptionist after each kept appointment.

? If resident is not working, they must complete and turn in a job search form for every day they are unemployed. The job search form has 4 job searches. This is the minimum amount of jobs allowed to be turned in per day. Job search forms may be turned into the monitor on duty. The monitor will place in the Residential Service Manager’s box. Monitors may give the resident more job search forms.

? If the resident is working, they must turn in a copy of their work schedule, a copy of most recent pay stub and agree to start up a savings account.

? If the resident is on disability or applying for disability, then the resident and the Residential Services Manager must come to an agreement on the terms for staying in shelter. If the resident is on disability, the most recent award letter must be turned in and will be placed in the residents file. The resident must begin a savings account.

? Each bed in the Shelter is assigned a chore. It is the resident’s responsibility to look to see which chore is assigned to their bed. The chores are posted in each dorm room, by the bathrooms, the laundry rooms and behind each dorm in the family rooms. Each chore must be completed on a daily basis.

? Failure to follow the rules mentioned above could result in dismissal or written violations. Three written violations will result in dismissal.
