After you have completed the application, you will be assigned the next number under the unit type you selected. When we get closer to the assigned number, you will be sent a letter asking you to come in and update your application*. In the letter we will ask you to bring in supporting documentation to clarify who you are and your current financial situation. A credit and criminal check will be performed to see if you qualify to move into the community. When all the criteria have been met, you will be asked to appear before the Board of Trustees at their monthly meeting where your application for housing will be approved. Your number will then be posted on our bulletin board and you will wait for the next available unit to be offered to you.

*Note: If you move or change your phone number please be sure to notify the office. If we send you a letter and don’t hear from you, the application will be cancelled.
