An Extraordinary Year: SHA 2024 Annual Report 

We are pleased to share the 2024 Seattle Housing Authority Annual Report. In addition to our financial reporting, it tells the story of an extraordinary year of providing housing and support services to more than 37,000 Seattle residents. 

We are proud to provide safe and stable housing in Seattle, and are grateful to all the tenants, staff and partners who make the SHA community so special. 

Seattle Housing Authority’s 2026 budget   

On October 13, the Board of Commissioners passed SHA’s 2026 budget. While we are still expecting a future cut to federal funds, the 2026 budget maintains our housing programs, resident services and redevelopment plans.   

Government shutdown

The federal shutdown will not change SHA services for now, and we will operate as normal. Learn more about potential federal impacts.  

The mission of the Seattle Housing Authority is to enhance the Seattle community by creating and sustaining decent, safe and affordable living environments that foster stability and self-sufficiency for people with low incomes. SHA provides long-term, low-income rental housing and rental assistance to more than 37,000 people in Seattle. SHA owns and operates more than 8,500 housing units at more than 375 sites throughout the city. SHA also administers approximately 12,000 Housing Choice Vouchers, enabling low-income residents to receive rental assistance throughout the Seattle housing market. In addition to housing, SHA provides many support services to help tenants improve their quality of life. SHA, an independent public corporation established in 1939, is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, two of whom are SHA residents.
