📝 JOIN OUR HOUSING WAITLIST

 

 

 

Thank you for your interest in housing through Staggers Foundation LLC – Dignity Suites.

 

Because rooms fill quickly, we operate from an organized waiting list to make placement fair, fast, and efficient.

 

 

 

✅ How the Waiting List Works

 

 

 

Submit your intake information with a coordinator.
Pay the required application & background screening fee ($75).
Once approved, you are placed on the active waitlist.
When a bed becomes available that matches your needs, we contact people in order.
You will receive move-in instructions and payment details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

⏳ How Long Is the Wait?

 

 

 

Most placements happen within 15–30 days, depending on availability and program fit.

 

Some homes fill faster than others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

💼 What Happens When a Bed Opens?

 

 

 

If you are contacted:

✔ You must confirm within the time given

✔ Provide your move-in deposit

✔ Agree to house rules

✔ Schedule arrival

 

If we cannot reach you, we move to the next person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

📌 Important Notes

 

 

 

• Completing intake does not guarantee immediate housing

• Priority may be given based on program requirements

• Deposits are required before move-in

• All homes are shared living environments

 

 

 

 

 

 

⭐ Why Join Early?

 

 

 

The earlier you are on the list, the sooner we can match you to an opening.
