Frequently Asked Questions about Financial Assistance

1. Why do you need my FAFSA?
We need your complete FAFSA information to determine if you qualify for Reduced Rent or Income Qualified Rent. We use your income or your parent’s income information (if you are a dependent on their taxes) to determine if you meet Yolo County’s Low Income or Very Low Income category(s). Please submit your complete Student Aid Report off of your FAFSA Online account (not just the first page)!

2. What if I don’t have a FAFSA?
Those students who do not have a FAFSA or whose income is not listed on their FAFSA Student Aid Report may submit an alternative form of income verification, such as a tax return. (NOTE: if your parents claim you as a dependent we need income verification from them.) If students do not have either of those, unfortunately we cannot offer income-based financial assistance, but it is still possible to apply for a scholarship.

3. How do you determine Stoneking scholarship awards?
The Stoneking scholarship is awarded on a first-come-first-served basis. Students may apply for the Stoneking scholarship if they identify as LGBTQ+.  This scholarship is a viable alternative if you do not qualify for Income Qualified rental rates.

4. How do I apply for Financial Assistance?
Please attach a PDF copy of your complete Student Aid Report (SAR), or another form of income verification to your MLC Application and indicate on the application which type of Financial Assistance you wish to apply for.

Financial Assistance for the Multifaith Living Community

At CA House, we commit to doing everything we can to make living at the MLC financially feasible for residents. With this in mind, we offer several options for residents seeking financial assistance. All assistance is awarded on a first come–first-served basis and unit availability is limited. Residents may apply for more than one form of financial assistance, but may only receive one of the following during any given lease year. 

Type of Assistance
Number Available
Monthly Rent for a Single Room
2025-2026
Monthly Rent for a Single Room 2026-2027
Income Qualified Rent 3 $595 $600
Reduced Rent 7 $855 $860
Stoneking Scholarship 1 $1045 $1055

Income Qualified Rent

Each year, CA House will lease up to three Income Qualified units for students who meet Yolo County Very Low Income requirements. Once the Income Qualified units are filled, applicants are placed on a waitlist for the next available vacancy.  In order to be considered, students must submit their current FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR) with their housing application. 

Reduced Rent

Each year, CA House will lease up to seven units at a reduced rate for students who meet Yolo County Low Income requirements. Once the Reduced Rent units are filled, applicants are placed on a waitlist for the next available vacancy.  Reduced Rent is not available for double occupancy rooms. To be considered, students must submit their current FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR) with their housing application.

Stoneking Scholarship

The Rev. Dr. Kristin Stoneking is a former CA House Campus Minister (2003-2013) and founder of the Multifaith Living Community. The Stoneking Scholarship is available to a MLC Resident who identifies as LGBTQ+. The recipient will receive a set amount of $85 off their monthly rental amount. All applicants for this scholarship must submit their current FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR) with their housing application, and meet for a follow up interview in order to be considered.
