Supportive Housing Application: Single
Wayside Supportive Housing: Single Resident Application
Please read the information below carefully before beginning your application
(Required)
General Information:
Thank you for your interest in Wayside Supportive Housing.
Wayside Supportive Housing contains 20 units (18 two-bedroom units and 2 three-bedroom units), which rent for $1350.00 and $1725.00 respectively. ** The damage deposit is $500 and must be paid prior to move-in. **
Wayside pays for heat and water. Residents pay for electricity. Residents must be able to qualify for Section 8 or other HUD rental subsidy and will pay one-third of their adjusted gross income towards rent.
All residents are expected to meet with program staff regularly, attend a mandatory weekly community meeting and to follow all the rules of the program.
This is a program for single heads of households who are in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD) and their minor custodial children only. Spouses, significant others, partners, or adult children are not allowed to live here. Guests must be free of mood-altering substances and must follow Wayside visiting hours. Guests are not allowed to stay overnight.
Wayside’s goal is to provide safe, affordable, sober housing for heads of households recovering from SUD and their minor children, regardless of race, age, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference.
Wayside encourages applicants who are serious about their recovery and committed to healing the damage/trauma caused by SUD in families to apply.
Selection Criteria: The following criteria will be the requirements for selection for housing:
• Applicants must be highly motivated to initiate and complete goals in the areas of recovery, education, employment, financial stability, family healing, and emotional health.
• Completion of primary treatment for chemical dependency.
• Minimum 90 days of continuous sobriety.
• Serious commitment to sobriety, demonstrated by implementation of a sobriety maintenance program.
• Preference will be given to parents who have been successful in transitional housing or as extended care residents.
• Preference will be given to homeless applicants.
• Applicants must meet the income criteria and have minimum adequate household income to meet rent obligation and living expenses.
• Applicants must have full physical custody of at least one child prior to being accepted to the program.
• Applicants must include a letter of reference from their treatment counselor, sponsor or other professional who has been involved in their personal recovery.
• Applicants must be free of any psychiatric disorder that would interfere with goal setting, parenting or program compliance.
• No record of any sexual offense, drug manufacturing, arson or felony violence: this will automatically disqualify an applicant household.
• Must not have been terminated for cause from a public housing program.
Selection Process
The process for selection will begin with your completed application.
Wayside staff will verify the information provided and contact your counselor and references.
If you do not hear from Wayside staff after submitting your application, please call: 612-499-3800 to confirm your application has been received.
When a vacancy arises, you will be asked to interview with the Program Staff who will select the applicants best meeting the requirements above.
There will be 3 attempts to reach you. If staff do not hear from you after the third attempt your application will be shredded and the process will end.
Wayside Staff’s decision is final; there is no appeal process.
A waiting list is maintained.
Please email IntakeSH@waysiderc.org or call 612.760.4911 with any questions about your application.
I have read the above information.
