Access Membership Application
Access Membership applications will be added to the waitlist in the order that they are received. Every individual interested in pursuing an Access Membership should complete an application–every household member should apply separately to be considered.
Please make sure to read the “Should I apply for an Access Membership?” section before deciding to self-select in to the program.
Should I apply for an Access Membership?
In recognizing the wide range of vulnerable and complex variables that comprise individual financial circumstances, below is a list of considerations to help with your own personal decision to self-select in to an Access Membership.
• I am not a homeowner.
• I have not attended private education institutions.
• I do not have a post graduate degree.
• I identify as queer, trans, and/or BIPOC.
• I identify as a person with a disability.
• I am a single parent.
• I am not a native English speaker.
• I have sometimes accrued credit card debt in order to meet my basic needs.
• I do not have a safety net of financially stable family members around me.
• I have found difficulty accessing and affording healthcare for me and/or my family members.
• My income supports my loved ones, as well as myself.
• I am unemployed or underemployed, and it is not by choice.

We trust that individuals will be truthful about their financial situations, and will allow this program to serve those who need it.
Access Memberships
Once your application has been received, you will automatically be placed on the waitlist for your market. Approved applicants are notified on the first of each month, based on how many available spots there are in the access membership program in their market. Please note that the only basis upon which we reject applications is if the applicant is already and active standard member at the time that their application is processed. Thank you!
