If you left owing money, can you reapply for housing?

Any money owed to housing must be paid in full before you can reapply for housing. Thus, even to get on the waiting list you need to pay past overdue amounts.

What happens after you receive my application?

To determine eligibility we will verify income, landlord references, and run a criminal background check. If your application is approved your name will be placed on our waiting list and you will recieve a letter. If your application is denied, you will receive a letter explaining the reason for the denial and information regarding your right to appeal our decision.

How long does it take to get housing?

Because we have limited unit and most people tend to stay a while your wait time could be at least two or more years.

Is there anything that I need to do while I am waiting for housing?

Please make sure to update the Housing Department if you have a change in your address or phone number. The Housing Department annually updates the wait list.
