Low Income Public Housing

The Low Income Public Housing program, or LIPH, provides low-rent units for families and individuals. Low Income Public Housing units are located throughout Seattle, and come in a range of sizes. Of the nearly 5,300 LIPH units managed by SHA, about 2,300 are large enough for families of two or more people, while about 3,000 are suitable for families of one or two people. In general, Low Income Public Housing residents pay 30 percent of their monthly adjusted income for rent and utilities. | Pictured: West Town View
