Co-Op Village Resident Rules
1. Resident must not be a threat (physical, verbal or emotional) to others.
2. No illegal activities undertaken while a resident.
3. Residents must be able to switch from “what is in my best interest” to a mode of “what is in the best interest of all concerned”.A six month probation period would be imposed to insure that this is possible, and village life is indeed what the resident chooses

3. Complete Family Information Form (see sample).
4. Complete financial screening process.
6. All intake forms would be taken by the Recruitment and Human Resource departments, then completed further by them. Village needs and residents work potential and desires would then be matched.
7. Accounting would create a cash flow projection for that family and assimilate it into the overall village cash flow.
8. Persons from both Human Resources and Recruitment would be assigned to new residents for six months. They would introduce them to the village concept and help them during the probation period to achieve their personal goals.
9. Membership decisions would then be made by the Focus Group “How will we expand our community ”.
