About KCHA housing
KCHA serves 37 cities and unincorporated King County, but does not include Seattle or Renton because those cities have separate housing authorities. KCHA owns more than 155 properties with more than 12,700 units, including more than 2,500 units of federally subsidized public housing for families, seniors, and people with disabilities. Another 8,200 rental units are financed through tax credits and tax-exempt bonds. Federally-funded Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) help more than 14,000 households rent affordable housing from private landlords. KCHA continues to actively buy, build, preserve, and expand affordable housing.
Our work in affordable housing and supportive services reaches more than 50,000 people who live on incomes below the King County area median income.
