Inspection

The Housing Fire Safety Escape Plan is a requirement of DAIL funded shared living homes. The plan helps all individuals in a shared living home know how to quickly and safely exit the home in case of an emergency, as independently as possible.   It is required to be posted in the home and practiced regularly. The Fire Safety Plan is required to have a graphic version of the plan as well as a written plan. 

The graphic plan is the floor plan of the house that should show:

Apartment or Other Alternative Living Arrangement in a Shared Living Providers Home Form and Guidance - Guidance for any situation that is not considered ‘standard’ in a Shared Living Providers home.  (Example:  Apartment, or apartment-like situation in the home or in a building near the home.) 

A housing safety inspection is conducted for shared living homes funded by the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL). DAIL provides oversight of this inspection process. The purpose of the inspections is to ensure the general health and safety of individuals receiving 24-hour residential supports and that the homes are in compliance with safety and accessibility standards.
