The Mission Policies

The Mission of Yahweh Resident Agreement

Women residents are required to donate 20 hours per week of work time to The Mission of Yahweh if not employed on a full-time (40 hours/wk) basis. If a resident works part-time outside of The Mission, she must make up the difference of her part-time hours and the 20 hour/wk internal work requirement.

No televisions are allowed in individual rooms. One television is centrally located in each building of The Mission for group viewing. Weekday viewing time is restricted to 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM.

From the hours of 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM Monday through Friday, residents and their children are not permitted in their rooms. This time should be used productively to attend classes, seek employment, seek government aid, and work in and out of The Mission. No exceptions are made to this rule. All residents are required to follow curfew each night.

Mission of Yahweh residents may not eat, store, prepare, or cook food in their room or living space. This restriction includes all food (including snack foods such as chips, cereal, crackers and soda) except infant formula.

Residents must agree to the following:

"I do hereby give permission to The Mission of Yahweh employees, volunteers, and sponsors/contributors to take me and/or my child/children to off-site activities and agree that I will not hold anyone associated with The Mission of Yahweh responsible for any accidents or injuries which may occur as a result of such activities or travel".

Any resident and/or employee of The Mission of Yahweh caught engaging in theft, drug and/or alcohol related activities, dishonest behavior, or other activities unbecoming to God and this organization, will be promptly dismissed from these premises. Women residents are subject to substance abuse testing at any time. The Resident Manager, Case Manager or Executive Director can conduct this dismissal when two or more managers agree.

Residents failing to abide by The Mission of Yahweh rules as agreed to herein will receive a written warning from the Resident Manager on duty. If a resident receives three written warnings of rule infractions of any type, she will be requested to leave The Mission of Yahweh and seek shelter elsewhere.
