Sober Living Network Standard for Homes March 2011 Section 12: Coalition participation, additional requirements, revision of this Standard Good homes are active participants in their local Coalitions. Local Coalition rules dictate the majority of members' requirements and duties. Coalitions also have standards, which complement those detailed herein. Network and Coalition standards change from time to time. Homes may request waivers from some standards, under a formal process administered by the Coalition. 1. A member home must comply with meeting attendance, financial and other requirements established by their Coalition. 2. A member home may appeal adverse Coalition decisions against it to the Network Standards Committee if a home believes that the relevant Coalition regulation is in conflict with Network policy. 3. Homes may petition their Coalition for waivers from elements of this Standard, with certain exceptions. 4. Waiver requests must be in writing, must state the specific requirement or prohibition from which a waiver is requested, must clearly state the reasons for the waiver, and the amount of time for which the waiver is requested. 5. Waivers may not be granted from requirements for abstinence, abstinence verification, participation in resident -directed programs of recovery from addiction, behavioral and certain other requirements. Coalitions maintain and will provide detailed information about the waiver process. 6. Coalitions may impose additional requirements on their member homes, provided those requirements do not conflict with the requirements and prohibitions in this Standard. 7. Homes outside areas with existing, Network -affiliated coalitions may make independent application directly to the Network for membership. 8. This Standard is subject to change, and may be amended according to procedures established by the Sober Living Network in consultation with its affiliated Coalitions. Page 8 of 8
