Requesting an Apartment
Requests for an Ark House apartment are made through the social worker at the Dallas hospital where medical treatment is received. An Ark House volunteer is contacted by the social worker and current apartment availability is discussed.
If an apartment is available, an Ark House volunteer will contact the resident and provide the necessary directions and instructions. If an apartment is not available, the patient may request placement on the waiting list.
