Assessment Review Process?
  1. Assessments are accepted on an ongoing basis. 
    **If applying for move-in assistance, please download or pick-up an Intent to Rent letter and have the property manager fill it out prior to applying. 
  2. Assessments are reviewed by members of our staff each Friday. You should expect a phone call within five business days after submitting your application.
  3. The phone call will consist of a review of your application with one of our staff members to determine if you qualify for a screening appointment.
  4. If you do meet the initial qualifications, a case manager will follow up to schedule an in-person screening appointment at the agency.
    **Please review What to Bring for a list of documents you need to bring to your appointment. The process cannot be completed without all required documents. ​
