lists of units for rent

Note to building owners and managers: Lists of units for rent are published and distributed by noon every Friday. To add a unit to a list, be sure to send us listing information no later than noon on the preceding Thursday.

How to get the lists

Customers may pick up free lists of units for rent to Housing Choice Voucher program (Section 8) voucher-holders at the PorchLight Housing Center or print them from our Web site. They are also disseminated to partner agencies across Seattle. (The lists are updated every Friday.) Sorry, we do not mail these lists.
