TACOMA THA SIXTEEN-PROPERTY DIRECTORY REVIEW — THA https://www.tacomahousing.org/properties/ reviewed September 30, 2026: 16 distinct detail records, 15 located in Tacoma and one, Bergerson Terrace, whose official detail page lists University Place. Tacoma records: 6th Avenue Apartments (2302 6th Avenue, Tacoma); Arlington Drive Youth Campus (3811 East Arlington Drive, Tacoma); Bay Terrace (2550 South G Street, Tacoma); Dixon Village (5420 South Stevens Street, Tacoma); E.B. Wilson Apartments (1202 South M Street, Tacoma); Fawcett Apartments (3201 Fawcett Avenue, Tacoma); G Street Apartments (401 North G Street, Tacoma); Hillside Terrace 1500 Block (1512 Court F, Tacoma); Hillside Terrace 2300 Block (2330 South G Street, Tacoma); Housing Hilltop (1011 South L Street, Tacoma); K Street Apartments (911 North K Street, Tacoma); Ludwig Apartments (5425 South Lawrence Street, Tacoma); Salishan (1724 East 44th Street, Tacoma); The Rise at 19th (1815 South G Street, Tacoma); Wright Street Apartments (602 South Wright Avenue, Tacoma). These are DIRECTORY CARDS, not vacant apartments. THA's “Now Leasing” market-rate introduction is not proof that every property or floor-plan variant is open for direct leasing. Its separate continuously open affordable-property waitlist is also not a current vacancy list. Housing Hilltop covers 1011 and 1111 S L Street and has two map markers for one card, so is unpinned. Salishan’s displayed 1724 E 44th Street marker is its Family Investment Center, not a residential entrance; the multi-site neighborhood is unpinned. Arlington Drive Youth Campus offers supportive housing for young adults facing homelessness, not general open application housing. THA https://www.tacomahousing.org/housing/ distinguishes affordable THA-owned homes, privately rented voucher homes and income-restricted THA market-rate units. Its https://www.tacomahousing.org/housing/waitlist/ says affordable-unit and voucher waitlists are open continuously via https://www.tacomahousing.org/applicant-login/; https://www.tacomahousing.org/housing/waitlist/waitlist-details/ defines a separate senior/disabled list and quarterly “Save My Spot” check-ins before January/April/July/October 25. A waitlist opening is not a unit opening. THA lists (253) 207-4400 for questions. No property-specific felony approval has been established from these sources; ask for current screening and intake rules. THA's https://www.tacomahousing.org/housing/ separately lists North Highland Court, Highland Crest and Outrigger market-rate examples; these are NOT extra records in the 16-card directory.
