Additional Information

● The Enhanced Shelter at The Oaks is a program focused on helping people move toward housing. People in the program should be ready and willing to fully engage and participate in a person-centered housing-first case plan with their assigned Case Manager. All participants will be assessed after 30 days for program continuation.

● The Enhanced Shelter at The Oaks is considered a low-barrier shelter

○ Residents do not need to be in possession of valid identification for admission into the shelter.

○ Residents do not need to be clean/sober provided that they:

■ aren’t a safety risk to themselves or others

■ are able to stand, walk, and get into and out of bed

■ aren’t in possession of, or actively using, intoxicating substances while on shelter property.

● Residents must be willing and able to meet multiple times per month with a case Manager, adhere to a case plan, and attend regular community meetings.

● Residents may, with prior approval, be allowed to bring pets with them. Pet policy and restrictions apply (dogs should be current with vaccinations please!).

● We don't conduct background checks for shelter residents, and residents will not be prohibited from entry due to past convictions or pending cases, regardless of the charge.
