Additional Application Questions for Parents

This page contains the additional questions we request from parent applicants who will be bringing their children to live with them on the property. In the case of a multi-parent household, we request that each parent answer these questions separately, without collaboration. Please type your answers IN A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN THE QUESTIONS so they stand out. When complete, email questions and answer (as a Word Document or email – no PDFs please) with the standard One Community Application (along with any additional requested items) to Sara at [email protected].
