• Deciding, as a Committee, on the suitability of an applicant.
• Advising the applicant of their acceptance or non-acceptance into the Safety House Program.
• Attaching Safety House signs to approved Safety Houses.
• Regular monthly monitoring of the Safety Houses.
• Twice-yearly door-knock checks with Safety Householders to ensure their circumstances have not changed.
