Application Process:

Residency is determined through a “rolling admissions” application process (there are no specific application deadlines).

  1. Applicant/Guardian fills out Application form

2. Applicant will complete Preliminary Eligibility requirements listed below.

Preliminary Eligibility

A face‐to‐face interview with the potential resident and their family. If the potential resident is subject to a conservatorship or guardianship, the conservator(s) and/or guardian(s) must attend the interview and all visits. Interview may take place at applicants’ current residence or at Bridge21 offices.

An interactive site visit at Bridge21 House to determine suitability of applicant for the available space. Applicant may be rejected at Bridge21’s discretion based on interview and site visit. If another suitable space becomes available, applicant may be re-considered.

A “preliminarily eligible” determination is not a guarantee or promise that an option to lease at Bridge21 Park City will be offered.

3. Applicant will complete Secondary Eligibility requirements listed below.

Secondary Eligibility

Once an applicant is determined to be “preliminarily eligible” to rent at Bridge21, they will be directed to contact B21’s executive director to discuss Lease and Community Rules with appropriate support systems. As a supported living residence, Bridge21is different from a group home that provides designated services. Bridge21 does not provide any direct support or care to residents.

An Independent Living Skills Assessment (ILS) will be conducted to determine whether the necessary supports are in place and appropriate for the applicant to live communally with assistance. Additional provisos may be determined and will need to be satisfied before “secondary eligibility” can be determined.

Simultaneously, an extensive review and evaluation of the applicant’s (or proposed guarantor’s) resources to determine that they can pay for all current and future Bridge21 required costs and personal expenses or has worked with Bridge21to secure a potential financial subsidy discount.

A Tenant Review Committee will review and determine eligibility. This committee may include B21 Executive Director, B21 designated staff, B21 Board member and the ILS assessment representative.

A “secondary eligibility” determination is not a guarantee or promise that an option to lease at Bridge21 Park City will be offered.

4. Applicant will complete Housemate Selection requirements listed below.

House Mate Selections

Housemate selection is determined when residents, their families, and/or guardian(s)/conservator(s) meet other eligible applicants to determine compatibility for sharing a house. At “secondary eligibility,” Bridge21 will share the names of other applicants with “secondary eligibility” or a current lease. Bridge21 is invested in creating a harmonious community and has the ultimate discretion to determine tenancy. An applicant can be rejected at Bride21’s discretion at any time during the application process.

Once housemate selection is determined, a refundable security deposit will be required, and a one-year Lease Agreement will be executed. Residents, their guardian(s)/conservator(s), and guarantor must read and acknowledge in writing that they will abide by the terms of the Lease Agreement and Community Rules.

5. Pending successful completion of the application process and availability, Applicant will be approved for immediate occupancy or for future house mate choice. Applicant and Bridge21 will determine a transition plan for move‐in. Move-in according to transition plan.
