SHA considers circumstances and lets applicants dispute records; this is NOT guaranteed acceptance. Its eligibility page https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/eligibility-sha-housing says most, not necessarily all, senior units are federally assisted; ask which rules apply to this property's particular unit.
