In reviewing applications, we are looking for thoughtful, honest and complete answers. There are no right or wrong answers, but we are looking to learn as much as possible about you, your history and your interest in our program. We want to make it clear that individuals with criminal records, long gaps in employment, or those who face other barriers to employment are encouraged to apply to the program. In fact, we want to know about these barriers so that we can figure out what our program can do for you! Applications with incomplete answers or answers that show a lack of effort (only one or two words long) may be discarded.

Please note that if you are having challenges completing this application for any reason, or if you have any questions, you can contact us at 773-434-7144 or zwilliams@growinghomeinc.org.
