What are the questions to qualify for housing?
Why Do you want to come to One Direction?
This question is to help us understand why you chose us, did you hear about us from a friend, or are you coming from another house that told you about us?
How Long do you have sober?
We ask this question to determine which house you should be placed at., we have 3 male locations and 4 female locations. We now have a step one house for men and women! We require that you be able to pass a UA. that will include an 80 hour alcohol test. We prefer you have money upfront for step one houses. Our Step 2 houses require at least 30 days sober and must have your first week's fees upfront.
How do you plan on paying your fees?
We are a self supporting house, so we need to know if you have a job, or if you are on social security. Fees are $190 per week or $823 per month. Please note that we CANNOT wait for a social security claim. If you do not have a job, we need to assess if the time it will take for you to get your first check will be within our time limit. We are happy to accept clients with out money upfront on a promise to pay, but have limited promise to pay beds.
Do you take any medications?
We are one of the very few transitional living houses that accept people that are on medication. We will need to see all prescriptions / Bottles at the time of check in. We do not accept medical marijuana prescriptions, Opiate painkillers, any over the counter medications or mouthwash that contain Alcohol or pseudoephedrine. We also do not accept Adderol, or Xanex.
What is your estimated date of arrival?
Please have the date that you plan to arrive available, this helps us plan when we will be full and when we will have open beds. If you are incarcerated, the earlier you call the better. If you are not incarcerated, please call within 3 days of your arrival so that we can try and plan to have a bed available for you.
Have you ever been convicted of sex crimes or arson?
Sadly we do not accept clients with these types of charges.
These are the majority of the questions we will ask during your phone interview. Please be prepared to answer any other questions we may find relevant to your situation.
