   "Right now, our list has been so large and our response so fantastic that I'm only working right now on people who had put in applications last March," said Karen Sue Canaday, the property manager for Zion Development.
   
   Canaday is no longer accepting new applications at this point for the city's only permanent housing option for the homeless.
   
   The Grand underwent a $5.3 million renovation after Zion Development, a faith-based, nonprofit development organization, bought the property in 1997.
   
   In 1995, police responded to an average of three emergency calls a day in the area of Broadway Avenue and Eighth Street. The area is relatively crime free now, Canaday said.
   
   There already have been several success stories of people getting their lives together and moving out of the Grand Apartments and into more traditional housing, Canaday said.
   
   Each of the 45 rooms is designed for one person and includes a private bath, a kitchenette and a twin bed. Rents vary according to what the tenants can pay.
   
   Anyone, including those without any income, can qualify for the housing, Canaday said. There also is on-site job and medical counseling available to the residents.
   
   "When they come in here, they have the opportunity to put their lives back together," she said.
