The Family Access Supplement (FAS) supports access to designated opportunity neighborhoods in Seattle for families with children by providing an additional subsidy to reduce their rent portion to 40% of their monthly income. Each voucher size (i.e. bedroom) has a maximum supplement available for families living in or moving to such neighborhoods.
To qualify, households must:
- have a Tenant-Based Voucher;
- have at least one child under 18; and
- lease a unit or currently live in a designated opportunity neighborhood.
FAS neighborhoods include Broadview, Green Lake, Interbay, Magnolia, Maple Leaf, Northgate, North Ballard, North Queen Anne, Ravenna, University District and Wallingford. To determine if the unit you’re applying for qualifies for FAS, please contact your Issuance Certification Specialist or you can reach out to the HCV General line at 206-239-1737 OR HCV@seattlehousing.org.
