True enough Dragonbud, nice post btw and same goes for subtleinflections :)
Just so we're all in the same page, here's the additional information I included in the main OOC:
The shelter has a Resident-Guest system. Guests are walk-ins. They arrive in Open Roads to seek food, which is always provided, and a place to stay for the night if space is available. They leave the following morning and may return again in the evening. They may decide to stay and become Residents. Residency is a commitment to put their lives back together and better themselves. They’re provided a room, which shared with one or up to three other individuals, regular meals, schooling and/or training. They are assigned a case worker, who’ll act as their advocate/guardian. The case worker will help guide the teen to a better future.
Procedures are followed before a
Guests may stay for the night. 1) They have to sign-in with the name they wish to be called. The names doesn’t have to be their real ones. IDs aren’t required as well. 2) A medical check-up to see if the person is physically injured or sick. First aid is applied if the former is true and over the counter medication is given if the latter. In case the person is suffering from something severe, a staff will accompany them to the nearest hospital. 3) After the check-up, the guests is shown to the dining hall if it’s day or the pavilion (the guest sleeping area) if it’s evening. Guests follow the same routine and rules as the residents and may stay up until before lunch and no longer. They may return in the evening and stay if a place is available.
If a guest decides to become a
Resident, they’ll be assigned a case worker. 1) The new resident and the case worker would have a discussion. The individual’s information would be formalized. If they wish, they can provide their real names. If they have a family, they may contact them but this would mean that their parents will be involved during the whole procedure. The Resident’s goals, plans, the house rules and etc. would also be discussed. 2) Studies/Training are mandatory. A resident’s curriculum depends on the assessment of the facilitator. Therapy is optional depending on the case worker and medical examiner but the resident may request participation. 3) Open Roads has a three strikes system, a resident receives a warning if they break the rules. Residents are allowed two warnings, the third means expulsion i.e. back to being a guest.
The House Rules: 1) No alcohol, cigarettes, drugs or weapons within the walls.
2) Be Orderly – if there is a line, fall in line.
3) Any conflict not solve in a mature way will grant immediate expulsion for guests and a warning for residents.
4) Residents may leave the premise during their recreational time. For residents sixteen (16) and above, curfew is 10:00pm. Any resident below sixteen (16) have a curfew of 8:00pm.
