Step 1: Final Review-Our dedicated team now carefully reviews all the documentation you submitted. This includes verifying your income, identity, and household details. If any information is missing or unclear, we’ll reach out promptly to request clarification or additional paperwork. Accuracy here ensures a smooth path forward. Check required documents
Step 2: Unit Match & Offer-Once approved, we begin matching you with an available housing unit that suits your family’s size and needs. You’ll receive a formal offer detailing the unit’s location, size, amenities, and anticipated move-in date. Be ready to respond quickly—this step moves fast! Learn about our housing options
Step 3: Resident Briefing & Move-In-Before moving in, you may be invited to a briefing session.
