Disenrollment Disclaimer for ALA Shared Housing

To ensure the success and integrity of our program, participants are required to adhere to specific guidelines and provide complete and accurate information during the application and placement process. Failure to meet these requirements may result in disenrollment from the program. Below are the reasons a client may be disenrolled:

1. Failure to Pass a Background Check
All participants must complete and pass a background check as part of the application process. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification.

2. Lack of Response from References
Providing references who are unresponsive or unable to verify your suitability for the program may lead to disenrollment.

3. Incomplete Proof of Income Documentation
Participants must submit complete and accurate proof of income to determine eligibility. Failure to provide this documentation will result in disenrollment.

4. Incomplete Identification Documents
All required identification documents must be submitted in full. Incomplete submissions will result in removal from the program.

5. Failure to Attend Scheduled Meetings
Participants are expected to attend all scheduled meetings with the program team. Missed meetings without prior notice or valid justification may lead to disenrollment.

6. Lack of Follow-Up with Potential Roommates
Once referrals are provided, participants are required to follow up promptly with potential roommates. Failure to do so demonstrates a lack of engagement and will result in removal from the program.

7. Rude or Disrespectful Behavior Toward the Shared Housing Team
Respectful communication and behavior are essential. Rude, inappropriate, or hostile behavior toward staff or other participants will not be tolerated and will result in immediate disenrollment.

Waiver and Indemnity Agreement
Affordable Living for the Aging ("ALA") works to bring together persons who are in need of housing. This Waiver and Indemnity Agreement ("Agreement") applies to placement in an ALA-facilitated home-sharing arrangement ("The Program").

ALA does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, marital or veteran status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, sex (including breastfeeding and related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, or sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.

ALA is not the agent of any party, but simply acts as a facilitator who provides the opportunity for the parties involved to come together for the purpose of shared housing. The decision to enter into a home-sharing arrangement resides with the program participant. The decision to occupy an ALA-rented unit resides with the applicant.

ALA does not provide any express or implied guarantee of the suitability or success of the home-sharing arrangement. Individuals who apply for and participate in the Program should explore any potential impact shared housing rental income may have on their taxes and/or benefits, prior to sharing. These individuals also should explore any potential impact shared housing may have on their current rental agreement or lease, including obtaining the landlord's approval, if necessary.

In consideration of the foregoing, I agree to indemnify and unconditionally release ALA, and each and all of ALA's Board of Directors and Trustees, owners, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, former employees, representatives, attorneys, accountants, benefit plans, insurers, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, and all persons acting by, through, or under or in concert with any of them (collectively "Releasees") from any and all individual, class, and/or representative claims, causes of action, losses, demands, complaints and liabilities (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) of any kind whatsoever against the Releasees, relating to my application for, participation in, or termination from the Program, including, without limitation, any and all individual, class, and/or representative claims of any kind whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

I understand that any false statements or misleading information may result in disqualification from or consideration for the Program. I understand that my application and authorization for participation in the Program does not guarantee housing and does not guarantee housing within any specific time period. I acknowledge and agree that I carefully read and considered this Agreement, that I fully understand it, and that I sign this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily, with the intent to be legally bound by its terms.
