Public Notice: Closure of Public Housing Waiting List

The Washington Housing Authority would like to thank the public and all applicants who expressed interest in our Public Housing Program following the opening of our waiting list on October 26, 2026.

The Housing Authority originally announced that the waiting list would remain open until 700 applications had been received. Although the anticipated application volume has not been reached, the agency has carefully reviewed its current application intake, administrative needs, and program operations.

After consideration, the Washington Housing Authority has made the administrative decision to close the Public Housing Waiting List effective November 15th 2026.

This decision is being made as part of the agency's responsibility to effectively manage its waiting list, maintain accurate applicant records, and ensure that applications received can be properly reviewed and processed in accordance with agency policies and applicable HUD requirements.

We appreciate the community's interest, patience, and cooperation throughout this application period. The Washington Housing Authority remains committed to providing fair, equitable, and responsible housing opportunities to eligible individuals and families.

Please continue to visit our website for future announcements and updates regarding housing opportunities.
