KCHA FEDERAL-WAY ELEVEN-CARD REVIEW — https://www.kcha.org/housing/city.aspx?city=federal-way and eleven linked detail profiles, reviewed September 30, 2026. The city directory displays six subsidized, one other-rental and four moderate-income cards for TEN named physical housing sites: Campus Green (511 S. 325th St.); Evergreen Court (33014 19th Lane S.); Federal Way Houses (three scattered homes, no single street); King's Court (S. 333rd Street and 22nd Lane S.); Laurelwood Gardens (29505 21st Ave. S.); Southridge House (30838 14th Ave. S.); Argyle (2517 S 316th Lane); Brier Woods (31224 Pete Von Reichbauer Way S); Cove East (33030 First Ave. S.); Riverstone (27314 24th Pl. S.). Unit counts and bedroom mixes are property/program inventories, NOT vacancies. Laurelwood Gardens appears twice at 29505 21st Ave S with separate eight-unit subsidized and 91-unit other-rental program inventories; it is one named site. Neither its 99 displayed program units nor a combined total should be represented as a verified single-building count. Federal Way Houses has three homes in undisclosed locations and should not be pinned to the Evergreen Court contact office. KCHA https://www.kcha.org/housing/apply says subsidized and HCV lists are closed; Campus Green https://www.kcha.org/housing/property.aspx?PropertyID=20 explicitly says its condominium list permanently closed effective September 1, 2026. Its city card says 62+ while detail says seniors 60+; resolve age criteria with KCHA. Other- and moderate-income profiles direct people to individual managers for intake, not a guaranteed vacancy. The city/card application links do not override closed subsidized intake. KCHA https://www.kcha.org/housing/other and https://www.kcha.org/housing/moderate explain separate manager procedures. Property detail pages provide contacts, unit mix, audience, amenities, access and queue sizes when reported. Manager offices, including Evergreen Court at 33014 19th Lane S and KCHA's Tukwila main office at 600 Andover Park W, are not homes for the other properties they serve. No property-specific felony acceptance is verified.
