WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING?

For purposes of this web site and the properties listed, the definition of affordable housing is as follows:

affordable housing: Rents that are affordable to households whose annual income is 80% or less of the median income range for the county in which the property is located.

The median income range and other applicable income limits are outlined on charts published by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, HUD and USDA Rural Housing Service.

Most of the properties listed on our web site have income limits that keep the housing they offer affordable to households in this income range. For each property that interests you, please check in the property description the income limits that apply. The charts can be obtained by clicking on the links below or clicking on the income limit button to the left of each page.

Also available are the basic criteria for determining the eligibility and rent level for a particular property. The government program in which the property is funded will determine the eligibility and criteria for that property. For each property that interests you, please check in the property description the Government Program under which the property is funded. The criteria can be obtained by clicking on the links below.

The information below is general information. If you desire additional information regarding eligibility for a particular property, please contact the resident manager or property management office listed on the property description.
