The application process for our next Partner Family for our home to be built in 2021 has closed.
We are not entertaining any applicants this fall. We will open the application process again in the fall of 2022.
Also please note that due to Covid-19 and any other factors beyond our control, even if you are the Family selected for the 2021 build, there is no guarantee that your build will occur.
