RHA SEVENTEEN-PROPERTY HOUSING REVIEW — RHA https://rentonhousing.org/Housing, linked housing details and https://rentonhousing.org/Portals/4/pdf/housing/PBV%20Open%20Waiting%20List.pdf?ver=2026-06-12-105643-387, reviewed September 30, 2026. Seventeen distinct property pages: six Renton Crest, three Golden Cedars, four in RHA's 'Market Rate Properties' group, plus Sunset Court, Sunset Oaks, Sunset Gardens and 95 Burnett. Fifteen existing-property leads are listed here; individual pages carry the complete published unit, rent, deposit, amenity, age/income, manager and contact notes. Labels describe RHA's page groups, not a guarantee of unrestricted market rates. All RHA housing is smoke-free, with smoking permitted outside only farther than 25 feet from doors, windows or air intakes (https://rentonhousing.org/Housing). Sunset Gardens (https://rentonhousing.org/Housing/Sunset-Gardens) says the project is almost completed under a temporary certificate of occupancy, with public opening for voucher clients promised only after permanent approval. Its page gives Allied Residential (206) 867-1690 and sunsetgardens@alliedresidential.com; RHA's https://rentonhousing.org/Portals/4/pdf/housing/PBV%20Open%20Waiting%20List.pdf?ver=2026-06-12-105643-387 separately names an open PBV waiting-list contact and 2902 NE 10th Street in the manager block. Do not interpret that manager block as a confirmed residence entrance or the PBV list as a finished/vacant unit. 95 Burnett (https://rentonhousing.org/Housing/95-Burnett) says only 'More information coming soon' and provides photos; no verified unit type, actual residence address, rent or eligibility is published there. Neither is advertised as a ready rental. Four listed sites are deliberately unpinned: Cedar River Terrace's property page says 51 Burnett Street while the PBV PDF says 51 Burnett Ave S; Glennwood Townhomes lists both 1141 and 1147 Glennwood Ave; Rolling Hills gives only 113th Lane SE; Sunset Court publishes no residence street. RHA's office at 2900 NE 10th St is not a shared residential entrance. Follow each property's own link for its exact wording. RHA https://rentonhousing.org/Resources/Waitlist-Eligibility says its HCV waitlist is closed and its PBV waitlist is open at named sites; https://rentonhousing.org/Housing says most subsidized/senior lists are closed. The PBV PDF names Sunset Gardens, Hillcrest Terrace, Evergreen Terrace, Sunset Oaks, Cedar River Terrace and Golden Pines. Hillcrest's own property page contradicts it by saying CLOSED, and its age rule conflicts with the PDF; confirm both directly. The general Housing page's /public-housing application link returned 404 when checked; RHA's separate HCV application page is https://rentonhousing.org/Section-8/HCV-Application, but HCV intake is closed. Neither list status nor a property manager contact proves an apartment is vacant or that criminal-record screening accepts applicants with convictions.
