Applications will not be accepted in person or via email.

 

Await Confirmation of Your Application:

​

Once the application has been received by the Kiwanis Office, your application will be reviewed. It will then be determined, based on the application details and eligibility requirements, if you qualify for housing in the Kiwanis Towers. Applications that are incomplete and lack proper supporting documents will not be processed and will be rejected.

​

This review process may include an interview with Kiwanis representative(s) to clarify any issues with the application review.

 

After the review process is complete, applicants will be advised by a confirmation letter on whether they have been approved or not approved for housing at the building. The confirmation letter will be mailed within 6-8 weeks once the application is received. Please note that demand is high for accommodations at Kiwanis Towers – meeting all requirements does not ensure acceptance.

 

If you are approved through the review process, you will be added to the waitlist. Applicant(s) are offered a suite as the suites become available. The applicant(s) has one opportunity to rent the suite that is available. Refusal to rent the available suite will void your application on file.  Due to Covid-19, suites are not shown to applicants prior to the start of the tenancy.

​

Applicants placed on the waiting list will be retained for a maximum of 6 months, after which their applications will be discarded in accordance with Kiwanis' policy. To remain on the waiting list beyond this period, applicants must submit a written request to Kiwanis before the deadline, stating their intention to extend their waiting period by another 6 months and providing any necessary updated information such as tax documents or bank statements. All applications will be disposed of after 1 year, requiring reapplication when the application process reopens.
