Admissions  

Applications are available at the Plano Community Homes Corporate Business office (1612 Ave. L).  You may also request that an application be mailed to you by calling the PCH Business office at (972) 423-6058 or download by clicking Application Form.  In the application there is a place to indicate what type of apartment you are interested in.  You can mark each type of apartment for which you will consider: efficiency (East Campus only), one bedroom and/or mobility impaired. 

PCH East Campus currently has a policy that if an applicant accepts an efficiency apartment that resident will have the option to be added to an in-house waiting list for a one bedroom apartment; the resident must live in the efficiency apartment for one year before becoming eligible to be offered an upgrade to a one bedroom apartment.   

All original applications must be returned to the PCH Corporate Business Office. PCH will not accept faxed applications.

Waiting List Information  

East Campus— At this time, we are working to fill our vacancies from the in-house and regular waiting lists. If an applicant is interested in immediate housing, our efficiency waiting list is very short and an applicant may not have a long of a wait as anticipated. It is difficult however, to tell applicants how long they will have to wait for an apartment while on the waiting list.  Historically, the wait has been as short as 6-8 months and as long as 2 or more years.  The wait time depends on turnover rates and federally mandated priorities (not Preferences).  Although the waiting list appears lengthy, PCH encourages interested persons to complete an application and return it as soon as possible.   

Pioneer Place— Estimated waiting time 6 months - 1 year  

West Campus - Currently the waiting list is closed

Fair Oaks - Estimated waiting time 3-6 months

Once a completed application is received, it is time and date stamped and added to the waiting list.  As applicants approach the top of the waiting list, our Admissions Coordinator will attempt to contact the applicant to schedule a first interview meeting to begin processing the application and screening for eligibility.  If applicants do not respond to the attempts made to contact them, we will remove those names from the waiting list.  If applicants refuse the offer to schedule a first interview or refuse an apartment, those names will be moved to the end of the waiting list, if requested.  Applicant names are allowed to cycle through the waiting list 2 times before the name is removed from the waiting list.    Once a name is removed from the waiting list, an applicant will be required to complete a new application to be eligible for the waiting list.  Please note all applicants are only eligible to apply for a campus with an open waiting list.
