Good Neighbor: Behavior Expectations

In addition to visual upkeep of the property, the recovery home needs to set behavior expectations for residents.

Your code of conduct should include details about how residents are to act in the neighborhood. For example, it should outline the type of language residents can use, especially if the home is located in an area where there are many small children. Additionally, the home should consider if there should be quiet hours, where loud music, TVs or talking on the porch or in the yard is not permitted.

While not required, some homes consider additional steps that residents can take to demonstrate being good neighbors. For example, some homes bake cookies for neighbors during the holiday season. Other homes offer to shovel the driveways of nearby neighbors in the winter or rake leaves for others in the fall. While these strategies are not required and each neighborhood is different, considering some of these options may help you demonstrate that you are committed to being a good neighbor.
