Tenant-based Program
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (also known as Section 8) is a rental assistance program subsidized by the federal government. Seattle Housing Authority administers the program within the city of Seattle.
Tenant-based Housing Choice Vouchers allow voucher recipients to choose and rent units from private landlords and owners. If you are in good standing with Seattle Housing Authority and have units within Seattle city limits, you are welcome to participate.
