There are three steps to the application process for rental of units at Cornerstone Apartments:
- Initial Application Submitted Online
In addition to the application, an artist questionnaire is required for each artist within the household. The primary leaseholder must be at least 18 years old. - Tenant Income Verification
Upon receipt of a complete application, the property manager will schedule an interview to verify your household’s financial, rental, credit, and criminal history, which will include completing a Tenant Income Certification form. The Property Manager will screen the information that you provide in this interview. The fee for this screening is $25 per adult member of your household (Must be paid with bank check or money order. No personal checks or cash accepted.) However, you will be given the opportunity to address any extenuating circumstances that you believe should be taken into account during this process. - Artist Selection Committee Interview
After your application has been preliminarily approved, you will be interviewed by the Cornerstone Selection Committee. You will need to present your portfolio and resume at the interview. The committee members will ask you questions about your commitment to the arts and your interest in becoming a resident of Cornerstone. A copy of the Artist Interview Questionnaire is attached. To assist the committee, it also will review and use the enclosed Artistic Application that you will have completed. The Artist Selection Committee screens applicants to determine their participation in, and commitment to, the arts; the committee does not judge the content of an applicant’s artistic work. The Artist Selection Committee is a permitted preference or a permitted screening criteria pursuant to HUD Handbook 4350.3 2-25, which is subject to federal, state or local preferences.
