To Apply
Interested applicants must visit Stevenson House in person to see the facility. This insures the housing and services meet the applicant's needs. Families are encouraged to join the applicant for this visit. Please call Yvonne Serra, Resident Services Assistant, at (650) 494-1944 ext. 20 to schedule a tour. The tour and informational interview will take about half an hour. Following the tour, applicants are given a pre-application packet.

When Stevenson House receives a pre-application, the applicant's name is placed on the waiting list. When an applicant's name nears the top of the waiting list, he/she is contacted and asked to complete a final application packet. Following successful completion of the final application packet, the Resident Services Staff will meet with the applicant regarding a specific apartment availability, the lease and move-in details.

Waiting List Procedures
• Applicants are placed on the waiting list based on date and time of receipt of a completed pre-application.

• It is the applicant's responsibility to contact the Resident Services Department at (650) 494-1944 ext. 19 or ext. 20 in case of any changes (i.e., address, phone number, etc.).

• If we are unable to reach an applicant, he/she is placed on the inactive list. If Stevenson House is contacted within three months of that unsuccessful attempt, the applicant is reinstated to his/her former place on the list.

• Applicants who refuse an apartment three times will be removed from the waiting list.
