McCreesh Place functions like other apartment communities and requires application onsite with verifications of ID and income. Since McCreesh Place only rents apartments to men who are homeless and disabled, the application process includes two additional steps:

Eligibility verification. Written verification of disability and homelessness are needed to show that someone is eligible to apply for an apartment before they apply.

Applications by appointment. Once verifications of eligibility are received, an applicant can call to confirm eligibility to apply and schedule an application appointment. At the appointment, applicants pay the application fee and complete an assessment interview. From the time an application fee is received, the process then takes between 3 and 5 days.

To apply, or refer an applicant:

• Call or come by to get a copy of the Referral Packet – (704) 335-9380. Come take the tour!
• Fax completed Verifications of Disability, Homelessness, Income, and a Case Summary if referred to (704) 334-0313 (see Referral Packet).
• Call to confirm eligibility and to schedule an application appointment.
• At the application appointment, pay a $50 money order for the application fee (must be a money order).
• Call in 3-5 business days for results of the application review process. This includes a selection committee evaluation and a criminal background check.
• Once approved, schedule a move-in date and identify the prorated move-in rent amount.
• On move in day, pay $100 deposit plus the pro-rated move-in rent. Rent is 30% of monthly income, from $140 to $470.
