Strict Supervision Requirement: To maintain a secure and controlled environment for both our 
residents and the surrounding Mesa community, the facility enforces a strict Supervised Community 
Access Policy.

Page 3 of 7 
 
Residents are strictly prohibited from leaving the property boundaries at any time unless they are 
accompanied by a staff member. 
Implementation and Oversight: 
• 
Controlled Egress: All exits are monitored 24/7 by on-site staff to ensure that no resident 
departs the premises independently. 
• 
Staff-Led Integration: All community integration activities including shopping, religious services, 
and recreational trips are conducted as scheduled staff-escorted excursions. 
• 
Safety & Accountability: This policy ensures that residents receive continuous support while off-
site and guarantees that the facility maintains 100% accountability for resident locations at all 
times. 
• 
Neighborhood Compatibility: By requiring staff accompaniment for all off-site movement, the 
facility effectively eliminates the potential for unsupervised loitering or unauthorized wandering in 
the neighborhood. 
 
6. Anti-Loitering Measures and Unauthorized Gathering 
To prevent loitering on or near neighboring properties: 
• 
24/7 On-Site Supervision: Staff are present at all times to monitor the perimeter of the property 
and ensure residents remain within the facility grounds or designated activity areas. 
• 
Scheduled Community Outings: To prevent aimless loitering in the immediate neighborhood, all 
resident departures are scheduled, supervised, and goal-oriented (e.g., transit to the theater or 
grocery store). 
• 
Curfew and Check-in: A strict evening curfew ensures that outdoor activity is minimized during 
late-night hours, keeping the neighborhood quiet. 
• 
Residents will not congregate in front yards, sidewalks, or adjacent properties. 
• 
Staff supervision will be provided during outdoor activities. 
• 
Residents waiting for transportation will remain inside or within designated supervised areas. 
• 
Structured schedules will reduce idle time outside. 
• 
Any resident found to be loitering will receive immediate redirection and corrective coaching. 
Repeated violations will be addressed through individualized behavioral interventions consistent with 
ADHS requirements.

7. Prevention of Lewd, Offensive, or Disruptive Language 
Skybridge Harmony Homes maintains a zero-tolerance policy for lewd, threatening, or offensive language 
directed toward neighbors or passersby. 
Measures include: 
• 
Resident orientation regarding community conduct expectations. 
• 
Clear house rules requiring respectful communication. 
• 
Staff supervision during outdoor activities. 
• 
Immediate corrective intervention if inappropriate behavior occurs. 
• 
Behavioral support plans for residents requiring additional intervention. 
• 
We maintain a "Family-Like" atmosphere where professional social conduct is both taught and 
required. 
o 
Code of Conduct Agreement: Every resident signs a behavioral contract upon 
admission. This contract explicitly prohibits the use of lewd, offensive, or high-volume 
language that could be heard by neighbors. 
o 
Immediate Staff Redirection: Staff are trained in de-escalation and behavioral 
redirection. If a resident uses inappropriate language, staff intervene immediately to 
move the resident inside and address the behavior privately. 
o 
Continuous Education: Daily house meetings include "Social Norms" training, focusing 
on being a respectful neighbor and the importance of positive community perception. 
o 
Church Services: Residents are taken to church every Sunday morning as part of their 
training for community reintegration. In church, they learn how to love their neighbors as 
they love themselves.  
Residents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with community standards.

8. Second-Hand Smoke Mitigation 
To prevent second-hand smoke from drifting into neighboring yards or homes, we implement the 
following: 
• 
Designated Smoking Area (DSA): Smoking is strictly limited to a specific, screened area in the 
backyard. 
• 
Strategic Setbacks: The DSA is positioned a minimum of 20 feet from any property line or 
neighbor’s window to ensure smoke dissipates before reaching adjacent properties. 
• 
Proper Disposal: Industrial-grade, fire-safe receptacles are used to prevent litter and odor. 
• 
Smoke-Free Frontage: Smoking is strictly prohibited in the front yard or on the sidewalk to 
prevent any impact on the public right-of-way. 
• 
Smoking will be restricted to scheduled times. 
• 
Residents will be supervised while smoking when clinically indicated. 
• 
Excessive or disruptive smoking behavior will be addressed through service planning. 
The home will comply with all local fire codes and safety regulations 
 
9. Noise Control 
To maintain neighborhood quiet enjoyment: 
• 
Quiet hours will be enforced between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM. 
• 
Outdoor gatherings will be limited in size and duration. 
• 
No amplified outdoor music.

Transportation will be staggered to prevent congestion. 
• 
No commercial vehicles will be parked on-site. 
• 
Deliveries will be limited to normal residential hours.

Staff shifts will be scheduled to avoid excessive traffic flow.

11. Parking 
All required parking will be contained on-site (garage and driveway) to ensure no congestion on the 
street. The garage has 3 parking spots and the drive way has 2 additional spots. In the garage, 1 spot is 
reserved for the house van and the other 2 spots for the 2 staff on duty. Staff shifts are 12 hours each so 
there is no overlapping shift. Day shift is 8 am – 8 pm and night shift is 8 pm – 8 am.  
We encourage family involvement but visitation is only permitted on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am to 
6 pm. All visitors must be pre-approved and visitors will us the 2 extra spots on the drive way to park. To 
prevent parking on the street, visits will be approved for a maximum of 2 vehicles per visitation time slots. 
 
12. Community Liaison and Complaint Resolution 
We believe in proactive communication. To ensure any concerns are handled before they become 
"issues," we provide: 
• 
Point of Contact: A designated House Manager's phone number is provided to all immediate 
neighbors. 
• 
Rapid Response: We commit to responding to any neighbor concern regarding noise, smoke, or 
conduct within one hour.

exceeds the neighborhood standard, ensuring the home remains an aesthetic asset to the block.
