Here are links to a couple of agencies on-line which do homeless drop-in centers:

They seem to have a similar structure:
Board of Directors
Center Director/Executive Director
Clinical Supervisor
R.N.
Licensed Social Worker(s)/Psychologist(s)
Educational Support Person
Group Facilitators
Marketing Staff
Finance Staff
Volunteers
Any one I'm missing?
Also, in addition to these on staff positions, there seems to be a tremendous amount of coordination between other social service/health care/school agencies and these centers, all of which would have to be addressed in a confidentiality policy.
These centers provide meals, individual counseling, support groups, case management, benefit procurement assistance, educational support, community advocacy, transitional housing assistance, meal programs, and other various support programs.
I think this could provide us with a nice framework from which to think about how to identify all the potential areas we would need to address with our statement.
Cheers!
