Applicants are welcome to talk with current community members about their experiences at any of CA House's free weekly Wednesday Dinners held from 6:00-7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome for dinner - it's a great way to get to know CA House. To explore CA House with a staff member or to schedule a tour, contact Chelsea Guenther.
Resident Agreement: Based on our common values and hopes, the MLC Resident Agreement outlines the commitments we make to one another as members of an intentional community.
CA House pursues equal housing opportunities and does not discriminate based on race, national origin, religion, gender, familial status, sexual orientation, or physical ability. Furthermore, an environment that honors the diversity of each individual is highly valued and consciously created.
Parking: Our location makes alternative transportation to campus and downtown quite possible and easy. Residents are encouraged to use the shared electric vehicles or bicycles (40 parking spaces available.) On-site parking (some covered) is available for $35 a month. Residents owning a car must purchase a CA House parking space and sign a year-long parking lease; neighborhood parking is not allowed. All residents with a parking space must display a CA House permit.
* Reduced Rent: Each year, CA House offers a limited number of rooms at reduced rents for students who qualify for Pell grants or meet other income requirements. For the 2012-13 school year, these rents are $635 per month. All students who think they could be eligible for reduced rents are strongly encouraged to inquire.
You may submit your application online or print out a copy below. You will be asked to sign an application submitted online during your interview. You will also be asked to sign a Resident Agreement at that time as well as submitting any supporting documentation such as a scholarship application.
