ASCF recognizes that treatment for cancer can be unpredictable and you might need to remain in the area for treatment. Every effort will be made by ASCF to accommodate such circumstances when absolutely necessary, however, no guarantees can be provided since we are attempting to help as many people as possible and may have made a commitment to other patients on our schedule. *

Accept Decline

It is the responsibility of the Guest to notify ASCF no less than 24 hours before any absence during an approved stay. If the Guest is absent for more than 4 days in a seven-day period the reservation will be cancelled and Guest will need to re-apply for a new stay period, unless ASCF has previously approved a separation in the stay. *

Any and all damage to the residence and/or its contents will be the sole responsibility of the primary applicant. Damaged property and/or missing or damaged items (including keys) will result in a forfeiture of the primary applicant's security deposit. The deposit will be refunded upon final cleaning of the residence (after check-out) provided that the residence is in good repair and condition. Should there be damages or loss, the primary applicant will be notified of charges incurred which will be deducted from the applicant’s security deposit. Primary applicants are responsible and will be held financially liable for the actions and/or behavior of their guests while on ASCF premises. *

Accept Decline

Accept Decline

ASCF is not responsible for lost, left-behind or stolen items, or for injuries suffered or for accidents on the premises. *

Accept Decline

Every effort should be made not to waste electricity. Please turn off lights when you leave each room and leave doors and windows closed so as to keep residence cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This also prevents bugs from entering the residence. Electricity usage charges over $150/month may result in a charge to the primary housing applicant. *

Accept Decline

Guest/s or family members who fail to adhere to the ASCF Housing Policy & Guest Liability Releases will have their license terminated and are subject to immediate dismissal from the housing provided and may become ineligible for future housing assistance. A guest may have his/her license terminated and be asked to leave the residence provided if the guest, caregiver, a family member, friend or other invitee fails to adhere to the Housing Policy and Guest Liability Releases. *
