Admittance Agreement
Dignity Village

Participant's name: __________________________________________________________

What we do is based on love and respect for ourselves and each other. There will be no disrespect here based on religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, age, lifestyle choice, previous record or economic status. We all demand dignity!

Our Mission

We seek to create a green sustainable urban village for those who are seeking shelter but are unable to find it. We feel it necessary to establish a community-based living facility where people living on the streets can have their basic needs met in a stable, sanitary evironment free of violence, drugs and alcohol until they are able to access housing.

To stay in Dignity, you must agree to and follow our five basic rules:

1. No violence toward yourself or others.

2. No illegal substances or alcohol or paraphernalia on the premises or within a one-block radius.

3. No stealing.

4. Everyone contributes to the upkeep and welfare of the village and works to become a productive member of the community.

5. No disruptive behavior of any kind that disturbs the general peace and welfare of the village.

I understand that Dignity Village is incorporated as a membership-based non-profit organization. By signing this agreement, I may become eligible for membership, according to the terms of the bylaws. In addition, due to the participatory culture of Dignity Village, I understand that it is sometimes necessary to convene meetings of members or Village Councilors with less advance notice than required by ORS Chapter 65. Therefore, in signing this agreement, I agree to forego and forfeit all rights to advance notice of emergency meetings of the Membership or Village Council, as provided by Section 4.10.1 of Dignity Village bylaws. I have read the Dignity Admittance Agreement and agree with its terms and I agree to live by these terms and the rules of the Village.
