Question:
A town has a warming shelter for homeless people that isn’t accessible. For people who need a physically accessible shelter, the town provides them with a hotel voucher. Can the town have different eligibility requirements for people who use the warming shelter vs. people who use the hotel voucher?
Answer:
The town should use the same requirements/qualifications for the person using a hotel voucher because of access reasons as they would use for someone coming to a warming shelter. Some examples include but are not limited to length of stay, first come, lottery, and families, etc.
