English help needed.

I have summer job in an office where you can apply for city-owned flats, and I'm doing a rough English translation of the application form. So I thought I might ask you native speakers whether this sentence is grammatically correct:

I hereby warrant that all the information given above is correct, and, if necessary, I approve of it to be verified. If the information I’ve given in the application will change in the future, I will commit to correcting my application to correspond with the changes.

Also, is there an English word for the sort a support home that isn't for seniors nor the disabled? Is it just "sheltered home"?

Finally, is there a word for this kind of a house, which has two or more flats, but no closed staircase:

I would call the pictured dwelling an apartment, but that might be American speak.

RJG also OTM because that's what I was about to suggest before coming to the conclusion that Bob Six's was more pleasing to the eye and era

and give my approval for it to be verified if necessary.

sheltered home/housing

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

I meant to say sheltered housing

"PAY ON TIME OR ELSE. YES, WE BREAK KNEECAPS."

RJG otm re language

I would make the second sentence something like, "Should any information provided herein change, I will (promptly?) submit a corrected application (containing the new information? reflecting that/those change(s)?)."

Perhaps by "support home" T. means subsidized housing?
