Waiting List Policy

Please note: There are currently houses available for sale at Rocky Hill.

Because we are a community of families who participate in community life, we are looking for others who want to be a part of, and actively participate in, the community. We ask that you follow these procedures when applying for a place on the waiting list.

To see whether our community is the right one for you and whether your household fits into our community, an adult member of your household should attend five community events - two of those should be general meetings and one should be a social event. Your household may choose what type the other two are. All Rocky Hill members should make an effort to get to know your family, and your family should make an effort to meet each of us.

New households must read and agree to the official documents of the community - mission statement, consensus decision-making guideline, operating agreements and by-laws. The minutes from our general meetings are also available but you are not required to read all of them (and no one in their right mind would). When your household is ready to apply, contact us for an application form.

The community will then meet to consider your application. If approved your household will be added to the waiting list in the order that the completed application was received. There is a $25.00 fee (that is renewed annually to indicate continued interest).

Rights and Responsibilities of Waiting List households

Once accepted for the waiting list, households are encouraged to continue to be as active as possible in community life. Waiting List members are required to come to one meeting/social event every six months. There is no work requirement. Waiting List households may not block the consensus process but are encouraged to weigh in on the issues being discussed.
