How long is LSA's housing waiting list? This is a common question we get asked and in this video, Susan LeRitz, LSA Program Director, shares important information on how the process works. We call it a family interest list because when there is an opening, it's not a matter of reaching out chronologically to the next person, but rather determining who on the list sounds like they could potentially be a good fit for the level of the home, what their needs and goals are, and is this a harmonious match for themselves and the residents. You can read the transcript or watch the recording where Susan answers more common questions like this by visiting https://lnkd.in/ggN6H8Zn To sign up for our family interest list visit the link in our bio.
