An investigator may request protective intervention funding for an emergency shelter placement to alleviate the vulnerable adult's protective need. Emergency shelter placements may be made for up to 30 days within a 12 month period for a vulnerable adult who has been abused, neglected, or exploited only if: (1) the vulnerable adult's circumstances require immediate alternate living arrangements in a safe environment; (2) the vulnerable adult or legal guardian consents to the emergency shelter placement or a court order authorizes the placement; (3) the vulnerable adult does not meet the eligibility requirements for shelter under the Family Violence program; and (4) the emergency shelter has the required current licenses and certifications.
