I’ve submitted an application- now what?
Applications are typically processed within two (2) weeks. Once an application has been reviewed, applicants are notified in writing regarding their eligibility for the property. Please note that the final eligibility determination is based on the most current information at the time a unit becomes available, and must be verified using third-party documentation, such as wage and bank statements, benefit letters, pension statements, public assistance vouchers, insurance policy statements, and any other relevant income documentation. Having this information readily available at the time a unit becomes available will allow us to quickly process your application.

What type of documentation is required?
You will be contacted once we have reviewed your application to request additional third-party documentation to verify the information included in your application. A list of this documentation can be provided upon request.
