Since this property is a LIHTC property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.
Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.
Created by Catholic Community Services in 2007 to reduce homelessness, Drexel House is the first and only facility in Washington State that combines emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing at one location.
In July of 2017, the long-time dream to build more housing for homeless veterans was realized when construction of Drexel House II Veterans Housing was completed. Drexel House II provides added 50 additional permanent supportive housing units for veterans.
Because Drexel House participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

Wait until you have a Section 8 voucher to find housing.
It usually takes months or years to reach the top of a Section 8 HCV waiting list. Any apartments you see now will likely not be available when you get your voucher.Belinda Hewitt says:
"With the information from Affordable Housing Online, I was finally able to apply and get on a waiting list. I see there is still hope, thank you so much!"
