Local housing information for Seattle

Local housing resources

SEATTLE SHA 81-PROPERTY DIRECTORY REVIEW — https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/sha-properties/all/list, reviewed September 30, 2026. The live unfiltered server-rendered index has 81 unique detail records with their own source URLs: 58 Low-Income Public Housing and 23 Seattle Senior Housing Program. The count is DIRECTORY RECORDS, not physical entrances, additive unit totals or currently available apartments. Parent groups such as Yesler, High Point, NewHolly, Rainier Vista, Scattered Sites and West Seattle Trio can cover multiple addresses and/or separately listed child buildings. Yesler's 808 Fir Street is marked Property Management Office, not a shared entrance; Red Cedar separately lists 808 Fir Street as its own address. Multi-site group listings are unpinned even where SHA displays one representative street. See each record's direct official property page for attributed inventory, bedroom mix, historic wait and amenities. SHA https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing and https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/sha-housing-application-instructions permit selection of two LIPH property lists plus two Senior Housing property lists if eligible. SHA says accepted applicants should check in monthly at https://savemyspot.seattlehousing.org/ (or call 206-256-7000); waitlists commonly take two years or longer. The directory's bedroom-specific estimates, “rarely available” and “undetermined” labels are historical wait indications, NOT real-time vacant units. https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/eligibility-sha-housing describes distinct public/senior income and rent rules, plus SHA's https://www.seattlehousing.org/housing/sha-housing/eligibility/background-screening-criminal-history case-by-case criminal-history review for federally assisted housing with two mandatory federal exclusions. These policies do not prove an individual applicant will be approved. SHA-associated Special Portfolio/Tax Credit housing, partner referrals and tenant-based vouchers are separate from these 81 detail records and can have different intake. Admissions: 206-239-1737. SHA's central office at 101 Elliott Ave W, Suite 100 is not a housing site.
