Family Bridge Program Requirements

The following is a sub set of program requirements established to help Family Bridge participants and their families interact with other participants in peace and harmony. It is our goal to make community living both comfortable and safe.

A complete set of participation rules and a contract overview between participants and staff is available upon written request.

Length of Stay

The length of stay in the Family Bridge program is a maximum of six weeks. A single extension of one week may be available, but only with a signed rental agreement in hand. No other extensions will be made. Most families seeking housing are usually able to secure it within a five week time frame.

Shelter Security

Persons fleeing domestic violence situations must turn to shelters with undisclosed locations to protect people's safety.

Program Requirements

All adults are required to actively partake in case management plans that focus on securing income and housing. Medications or treatment for mental illness must be followed in order to satisfy case management plans. Children must be enrolled in and attend public school or Head Start during their stay.

Drug Screening

Family Bridge requires a drug screening test with clean results for all participants 13 years or older. If staff suspects drug use, participants must take a subsequent test or they forfeit their right to participate in the program.

General Living

Families must be able to get along with others, including completing household chores and attending weekly house meetings.
