Section 8 Project-based Program

The Section 8 Project-based program

The Section 8 Project-based program subsidizes units in Seattle Housing Authority-owned and privately owned properties throughout Seattle. Tenants residing in Project-based units pay 30 percent of their income for rent and utilities; the balance of their housing costs are paid by the Section 8 Project-based program. Tenants in Project-based units are assisted as long as they live in the unit and continue to qualify for the program.
