How to Apply for LIHI Housing   (Como se aplica para alojamiento de LIHI: en español clic AQUI)

 LIHI is one of the most productive affordable housing developers in the Northwest. LIHI owns and/or manages over 1,800 housing units at over 40 sites in six counties throughout the Puget Sound region. Eighty percent of LIHI housing is reserved for households earning less than 30 percent of the area median household income.

LIHI housing falls into 2 basic categories:

1) Housing where the rent is 30% of the tenant’s income. This housing is reserved for persons making 30% or less of the Area Median Income: about $18,000/year. The majority of this housing is reserved for seniors, persons with disabilities, or families with children 18 and under. Each property that has these units keeps a waiting list. To get on the waiting list, please call the manager of the property. To see a list of these properties, please see the Waitlist Properties section below.

2) Housing that has a fixed rent amount. There is no waiting list for these units. Units are listed as they become vacant. Units are listed in the Available Units section below. These units require that the tenant have income equal to two times the amount of the rent. So, if the rent for a unit is $500/mo., then the tenant must have income of $1000/mo. to qualify.  Applications must be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the manager of the property. Do not send any applications to the LIHI main office.

WAITLIST PROPERTIES (rent is 30% of your income for all of these units):
  The following properties keep waitlists. Click on the name of each property for more information, including location, income and other restrictions, and contact info. You will need to call the manager of a property to get on its waiting list. Do not mail in an application. You must first talk to the manager and then they will send you an application specific to their property.

The maximum income for a single person to qualify for these units is about $18,000/year. For exact figure or for larger household sizes please contact the manager of the property you are interested in.
