Fee Information 

There are two basic fees associated with Independent Housing—the entry fee and the monthly maintenance fee.  The  monthly maintenance fee does not include utilities.

The entry fee is composed of two parts—(a) a Refund Portion and (b) the Life Lease Fee. Entry fees for individual homes are based on current market value and currently range from $140,000 up.

A)   The Refund Portion is returned to you or your estate upon the resale of the Independent Housing Unit formerly occupied by said member or within six months of the death or withdrawal of said member, whichever shall first occur.

B)   The Life Lease Fee ($70,000 for one person; $85,000 for two people) would be refunded on a prorated basis if the home is vacated due to death or withdrawal from Friends Fellowship within the first 24 months of residency. After the 24th month of residency, the Life Lease Fee is no longer refundable. If you are relocating to another accommodation within the community, full credit for the Life Lease Fee would be given toward the other accommodation.
