Admissions and Eligibility Sample Clauses

Admissions and Eligibility. Shelter Providers must develop policies and procedures for participant referral and admission. Admission policies and procedures must be clear, written and verbally explained to participants and referring entities at time of referral to ensure appropriate linkage prior to arrival at shelter. Admission policies and procedures must at a minimum, provide information on admission parameters including referral process, eligibility, shelter program services, participant guidelines, the reasonable accommodation process, and reasons for admission denial. Shelter Providers must ensure information is given to participants both verbally and in writing and in a manner which is preferred by participant, considering disability and limited English proficiency. For individuals with communication disabilities, including people who are deaf and/or blind and people who have speech disabilities, Shelter Providers must provide auxiliary aids and services (such as sign language interpreters, information in braille or large print, video relay communications) when needed to communicate effectively with people who have communication disabilities. For participants with limited English proficiency, shelter providers must provide interpretation services. Interpretation may be provided by a family or friend if chosen by the participant. Shelter Providers must provide outside interpretation if the participant states that they are not comfortable having their family or friend interpret. Shelter Providers at admission must assess, with input from the participant, the appropriateness of the shelter environment for referred participants to ensure that basic individualized needs of the participant can be met by the facility, shelter staff and programming. Shelter Providers at admission must assess, with input from the participant, for diversion and prevention opportunities by evaluating participant’s strengths and social support networks such as temporary and/or permanent housing options with family and friends. If it is determined that an individual may qualify for a medical or mental health placement with a higher level of care, the Shelter Provider shall request that evaluation from Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) within 1 business day of the determination. HCA will facilitate that assessment at the shelter site within 5 business days, and will provide same day evaluation in exigent circumstances.

  • Conclusions and Recommendations Based on our country-by-country analysis, 197 of the AEWA populations are already well-monitored both for population size and trend. Our prioritisation method allowed focusing on the AEWA conservation and management priorities (Priorities 1-2) and to consider cost effectiveness and feasibility (Priorities 3-6). Theoretically, the two- third target of the AEWA Strategic Plan can be just attained by focusing on the development of monitoring activities for Priority 1-5 populations (i.e. leaving out the 168 more widespread Priority 6 populations that would require more species-specific monitoring methods. Most of the Priority 1-5 populations would require improvement of the IWC though regional schemes focusing on the West Asian / East African flyway with possibly three subregional components in the Central Asia, Arabia and Eastern and Southern Africa. In the latter region, improvements in Tanzania and Mozambique are particularly important. In the Black Sea - Mediterranean - Sahelian flyway the focus should be primarily on the Sahel countries and especially on increasing the consistency of annual counts. The quality of monitoring is already better in the Black Sea and Mediterranean regions. In the East Atlantic, the ongoing capacity-building activities should continue and the consistency and representativity of site coverage should be further strengthened in most countries. Angola would require a major capacity improvement but primarily for the intra-African migrants on inland wetlands. It is also clear that the targets of the AEWA Strategic Plan cannot be achieved without complementing the IWC with periodic aerial surveys both in Western Africa as well as in Eastern and Southern Africa, by setting up a periodic offshore waterbird monitoring scheme in the Caspian Sea and by focusing in each country on a relatively small number of breeding bird species strategically selected in this report.
