Your move-in checklist
Everything worth packing for a furnished room, and nothing that is not. Print this page or save it to your phone, then check items off as you go.
The room is furnished before you arrive. Pack light.
Papers and essentials
- Photo ID, Social Security card, and insurance cards
- Benefit award letters if you receive SSI, SSDI, or a voucher
- Current medications in their original containers, plus your pharmacy information
- Names and numbers for your doctors, case manager, and emergency contacts
- Any legal documents you keep: power of attorney, advance directives, DD-214 for veterans
Clothes and personal items
- Clothing for the season, plus one warm coat for Indiana winters
- Comfortable shoes and slippers
- Your own toiletries if you prefer them. A welcome hygiene kit with the basics is already on your bed
- Glasses, hearing aids, chargers, and other daily-use items
Things that make it feel like yours
- A few photos or small keepsakes for your shelf
- Your phone, tablet, or laptop. The internet is free in every home

- Books, puzzles, or hobbies you can share at the community table
Leave these behind
- Furniture and major appliances. Your room is fully furnished

- Large stockpiles of food. Kitchens are stocked through shared shopping and monthly pantry trips
Who to notify about your new address
- Social Security Administration, if you receive SSI or SSDI
