All accommodation services are channeled through the Accommodation Office at the Hostel.  The Hostel is a 39 bed facility, and is the first priority for all accommodations requirements, on a first come, first served basis.  When there are no rooms available at the hostel, it is the policy of the CSD that when the hostel is fully occupied, the client will be accommodated at an available hotel.  The hotel is selected depending on the client needs and/or hotel room availability.  When there are no hotel rooms available, the next step is to seek Private Boarding Homes with family or friends of the client or with those that have provided the services before and is willing to do it again.  As a last resort clients may be transported to Dryden for the night.

In April 2002, all commercial accommodations were set up to come on-line through the Non-Insured Health Services Database System.  The accommodation clerks at the hostel facility will continue to be responsible for processing commercial accommodations for clients require services.  Meals will only be provided at hotels where it has been authorized by the Non-Insured Health Services.  All other clients staying at hotels will be required to eat at the Zone Cafeteria.
