The King County Housing Authority takes pride in the quality and integrity of its subsidized housing programs. If you believe someone is misrepresenting information to benefit from the KCHA's public housing program, please call 206-574-1151 and/or download a Fraud Allegation Complaint form (pdf), complete it and mail or fax it to: Kathleen McKay, KCHA, 600 Andover Park W., Tukwila, WA 98188, Fax: 206-574-1104.

If you have a problem with your unit or need a repair made, contact your management office promptly. If you suspect mold problems at any time, the Washington Department of Health Web site provides answers to common questions. Residents must report any change in family composition or income within 10 days of the change. Please fill out the Change in Family Situation Form (pdf) and submit it to your management office.

Resident Advisory Committee

The purpose of the Resident Advisory Committee (RAC) is to create a forum for resident feedback to assist KCHA in its development of policies and procedures that affect residents. The committee also acts as a voice for our resident communities and works to ensure quality throughout KCHA's affordable housing.

North and Eastside residents meet as one group in that area; the remaining committee members meet in the South area.

Contact

We welcome your feedback. If you have issues, concerns, questions, or suggestions that you want to share with the Resident Advisory Committee, send an e-mail to rac@kcha.org.

Family Self-Sufficiency Program

The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is a five-year program available to Public Housing residents living at Burndale Homes, Evergreen Court, Firwood Circle, Green River Homes, and Kings Court who want to achieve economic independence.

If you are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), working or not, or going to school, then this program may be for you.
