About KCHA

Mission: As a national leader in affordable housing, King County (WA) Housing Authority serves to provide innovative, effective, and equitable housing solutions so that all people and communities can prosper. 

Our vision is that all residents of King County have quality affordable housing.

KCHA owns more than 150 properties with more than 12,650 units. Of those units, more than 8,000 are financed with tax credits and tax-exempt bonds, and more than 4,400 units are federally subsidized housing for families, seniors, and people with disabilities. KCHA also manages more than 14,000 federally-funded Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) to help people rent affordable housing from private landlords. Our work in affordable housing and supportive services reaches more than 55,000 people who have incomes below the King County area median income.
