The Home Study process can take anywhere from 2-3 months, but is generally based on how available you are to meet with us and how quickly you provide your documentation to us.

The Home Study process consists of four face to face visits. One visit must be completed in the home and the rest will be determined by applicant(s) and their social worker. All family members living in the home are required to be at the first and last visits of the home study process.
