Reported policy summary	Yesler — official SHA property detail https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/property/yesler, reviewed September 30, 2026. Low-Income Public Housing; SHA neighborhood: First Hill. SHA displays “808 Fir Street, Property Management Office” for this multi-location community/group. This is NOT a verified common residence entrance; no map pin is set. Child building listings, if any, remain separate; DO NOT add this group's unit count to theirs. SHA describes 382 property units (INVENTORY, not vacancies). Bedroom mix displayed: 1 bedroom: 14 units; 2 bedroom: 117 units; 3 bedroom: 170 units; 4 bedroom: 66 units; 5 bedroom: 15 units. SHA's property description (source excerpt): The Yesler community is a 30-acre plus development on a hill above downtown Seattle. It is being transformed through a complete redevelopment into a diverse, modern, urban community with residents across the income spectrum. New subsidized housing for people with extremely low incomes has been built with more to come, ensuring that all of the residents living at Yesler Terrace at the time redevelopment began have the opportunity to continue to live in their community. Housing has been added for people with low and moderate incomes, as well as for people who pay market-rate rents in buildings that have been developed by private partners. When completed, Yesler will feature nearly 5,000 apartments in numerous individually designed buildings. A new hillclimb and pedestrian pathway link Yesler with surrounding neighborhoods, and two historic sites – a former steam plant and a performing arts hall – that have been renovated for community programming. Yesler Terrace Park features an outdoor fitness loop, a RAVE soccer field, community gardening spaces and other amenities. The Seattle Depar.

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.
