   • Exceptions may be made for those who have been proactive in their communication with Amy regarding challenges with level of Partnership Activity.
3. October assignments/tickets are due the last day of the month: Saturday, October 31st
4. The link to sign up for opportunities is here.
5. It is important to cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend the shift you have signed up for.
6. Please keep track of your own hours using your ticket book until you have your monthly meeting.

Monthly Financial Meetings

1. Please begin to schedule your meetings with Rhonda in person going forward:
   • Those who have been unable to work on the construction site or restores due to underlying health conditions making them vulnerable to COVID 19 may continue to schedule phone calls.
2. Everyone is required to submit the following at least 24 hours before your meeting with Rhonda. (If this is not done, you will need to reschedule your meeting):
   • Income statements or pay stubs
   • Bank statements
   • Assignments if given any
3. 5 minute meetings with Amy are back! Be sure to meet with Amy before or after your financial meeting with Rhonda each month. The goal is for Amy to:
   • give you personalized updates about your anticipated build schedule
   • provide home sponsorship info when applicable
   • discuss upcoming ceremonies for your family
   • connect on your overall partnership activity and previous month’s progress
   • allow time to address any other questions or concerns either of us have

Communication expectations and announcements:

1. If you’ve been exposed or have symptoms of COVID-19
   • Please be mindful not to come in to the office or report to the construction site or Restores if you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 or have a symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
   • Please stay home and call your healthcare provider or N.C. Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Hotline at (866) 462-3821 for guidance.
   • Then please inform Habitat (Amy Davis)
   • Don’t forget to cancel your reservation.
2. We are here for you. Please let us know if you’re experiencing difficulties as a demonstration of partnership.
   • We understand that COVID 19 can be especially difficult in so many ways. If you are experiencing challenges that are interfering with your ability to partner with us physically, mentally, or financially, it is critical to communicate this with us so we can work through it together.
   • It is important to communicate difficulties scheduling or completing Partnership Activities as soon as possible and make an attempt to find a solution with Amy when possible and prior to the end of the month.
   • In some situations and with proactive communication, Future Homeowners may be temporarily excused from participating in partnership activities. Don’t forget the abundance of at-home options that remain available to you at this time. Please don’t wait until the month is over to express a need for this. (Think of this as a part time job with as much responsibility to communicate with your team leader about your expected attendance and activity level.)
3. Be responsive and alert for communication from us:
   • As our staff continue to work on your behalf, please respond in a timely manner to any phone calls, texts, or emails asking for your reply so we can keep moving forward.
   • It is important to check email regularly.
   • You must let us know immediately if your contact information has changed or is not available. Consider having a family member or friend to help you contact us if necessary.
4. Who can you call with questions?
   • Financial concerns, changes or updates: Contact Rhonda Mack at ext. 112
