Items considered contraband may <br />be confiscated and/or destroyed. Guests will always need to be searched any time they access <br />their outside bins, bikes or vehicles. <br />20. Approved pets, service animals and companion animals will only be allowed into the program <br />with explicit permission given by program management team. All pet owners must agree to and <br />follow the guidelines provided in the Animal Expectations, which is a separate document that <br />will be given upon entry of the animal into the shelter..,,___ <br />21. Neither Mercy House nor any of its vendors are in any way responsible or liable for lost, stolen, <br />or damaged items that guests bring onto premises. Guests are encouraged to keep valuable <br />items close and guarded, and are asked to turn in found items to the staff at the front desk. We <br />advise that those who choose to use the supplied charging stations to have their electronics <br />clearly marked and/or customized for easy identification. Guests may only charge their <br />electronics at the approved charging stations, and may not remain at the station for any <br />extended amount of time. <br />22. Cash is never to be given to Staff, Volunteers, or Interns at ANY time, <br />23. Any guest that does not follow these expectations is jeopardizing their ability to accomplish <br />their housing plan and may be exited from the shelter. Because everyone can make a mistake, <br />when an expectation is not met, staff will clarify any misunderstanding of the expectation and <br />discuss ways that each guest can avoid further violations. If the violations continue Mercy House <br />staff and the guest will meet and create an action plan to support the client to get back on track <br />with their housing plan and meeting these expectations. Guests who have five action plans and <br />continue to violate these expectations will be exited from the shelter. <br />As a result of initialing these expectations and signing this form, I understand that expectations, health <br />and safety policies may change as necessary and that I will be informed of these changes and I am <br />required to abide bythese amended policies. <br />I have read the above and agree to follow the Shelter Expectations. <br />Name (please print): <br />Signature: <br />27 <br />Date: <br />
