Becoming a resident/member of Sawmill Creek Co-op involves a multi-step, confidential application process. This process includes the information and application stages, and the interview and approval stages. The stages are outlined as follows:

1. Attend an Information Session -- The first step in becoming a member, and a possible co-op resident, is to attend an Information Session. Contact us indicating your interest and you will be notified of the next session. 
   
   
2. Complete an Application Form -- Following the information session, if you decide that living in our co-op might be for you, you will be given a membership application form to complete.  The form must be completed in full and returned to the co-op office with the necessary documentation, and a non-refundable processing fee before the next step in the application process can be taken.
   
   
3. Attend an Interview -- Once the office has received your application and all information session criteria have been met, the Membership Committee will invite you to an interview. This interview will be set for a mutually convenient time. All persons listed on the application should attend this interview.
   
   
4. Selection and Approval -- After all interviews have been completed, the Membership Committee members meet jointly to discuss the applications and make recommendations to co-op's board of directors. The board accepts or rejects each recommendation, or requests more information about an applicant. All applicants are then notified of the results.
   

Applicants should be aware that we cannot provide subsidy funding to outside applicants who would need a subsidy to afford our housing charges.

If you are approved for membership, but no unit is available, your name is placed on a waiting list for one year, according to the date your application was first submitted. Should a suitable unit become available, you may be contacted. 

If there is any change to your information, contact us to update your application form.
