THE RESIDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY


The Community is their home. A Companion is invited to stay within the Community for as long or short a time as she or he needs or wants. We welcome single men and women and couples without judgment. Companions are the primary recipients of the benefits of the charity through their being provided home, community, meaningful work and opportunities for personal development.
 Companions are expected to comply with certain rules, including: 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
(1)   Any claims for Social Security Benefits must be
        closed and the Companion
        must receive no income other than what
        they receive from the Community in
        weekly allowance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
(2)  Everyone must work to their
        best ability within the Community.                                                                                                                  
       
(3)   Companions should take advantage
        of opportunities for personal
        development including
        external counselling advice.                                                                                                                                
(4)  There must be no alcohol or 
        illegal drugs within the Community.                                                                                                                          
(5)  There must be no violence,
        aggression or discrimination 
        within the Community.
