  • HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR TENANT SELECTION PLAN (TSP)
    Please read the TSP on our website or enclosed in this Application Packet. The Plan explains our policies and procedures in detail.  The TSP’s summary statements below contain information especially relevant to potential applicants.
    1. Council Gardens provides quality affordable housing for seniors 62 and older and for all mobility-impaired adults. (Our buildings & grounds are wheelchair accessible.) Applicants younger than 62 need a letter from medical personnel stating that they are mobility impaired.
    2. Tenants must be able to live independently. CG is not an assisted living residence.
    Applicants must be independent in at least three of the following six “Activities of Daily Living” which include (1) personal hygiene and grooming, (2) dressing and undressing, (3) feeding oneself, (4) functional transfers (getting out of bed),  (5) voluntarily controlling body functions and (6) ambulation (walking or using a wheelchair) AND these applicants must have supportive services necessary to perform the remaining ADLs to ensure the health, safety, and security for all Council Gardens Residents. We need proof that any healthcare aide has a permanent address off of our campus.
    1. Relocating from a nursing home, assisted living residence, or group home requires a letter from the medical team asserting that the applicant can live independently.
    2. The “Screening for Criminal Activity and Drug Abuse Section” in the Plan outlines our policies for rejecting sex offenders and applicants involved in criminal activity. We follow strict guidelines regarding renting to tenants who are or have been involved in drug-related or criminal activity. We consider patterns of behavior and eliminate prospective tenants who have exhibited repeated drug violations or criminal activities. We do criminal and credit background checks on all prospective tenants before offering an apartment.
    3. HUD form 92006 (contact information) and 27061 (racial/ ethnicity information) are optional forms in our Application/ Admission Packet.
    4. Applications are used to determine initial eligibility as it relates to age, disability status, household composition and income/assets. Acceptance of the application does not constitute acceptance for admission. Acceptance for admission requires verification of information, a face-to-face interview, additional background information and documents required by HUD.
    5. Applicants are placed on the waiting list corresponding to the apartment size stipulated on their application. Apartment Size Requirements - one person may occupy a studio; one or two persons may occupy a 1 bedroom; two or three persons may occupy a 2 bedroom.
    6. Tenants are permitted to keep a pet in their apartments providing a Pet Agreement has been signed, the required deposit paid, and all appropriate provisions of the Pet Policy followed.
