Full Intake Form
Already spoken with us? This is the full intake form, and it is the step after a phone call. It is detailed on purpose — it asks about your background, income and references — and takes most people twenty to thirty minutes.
Just want to know if a room is open? You do not need this form yet. Use the short availability form instead — five questions, under a minute — or call (219) 200-0497. We only ask you to complete the full intake once we have talked and know a room is a fit.
