About This Program in Washington

In Washington, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing in Seattle are administered by the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an SHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.

How to Apply in Washington

Apply through SHA at seattlehousing.org when waitlists are open. Washington protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (RCW 59.18.255), and Seattle bars it under SMC 14.08, so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher. Call SHA at (206) 615-3300 for current waitlist status.
