KCHA’s 2026 Moving to Work (MTW) Plan is available for review and comment between September 2 and October 2, 2025. The agency welcomes participation and input.
Moving to Work is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) demonstration program, which allows housing authorities to establish local programs and policies in order to (1) increase the housing choices of low-income families, (2) help residents achieve economic independence, and (3) increase the cost-effectiveness of federal housing programs. As an MTW participant, KCHA develops and shares an annual plan which outlines and identifies proposed changes to policies and programs that KCHA may undertake in 2026.
KCHA will hold a hybrid (in-person and virtual) Public Hearing to review and receive comments:
In addition to the public hearing, comments may be submitted by:
A new issuance of municipal Revenue Refunding Bonds in the amount of $101 million will be used to provide permanent financing for four recently purchased workforce housing properties, including Sterling Ridge, Henry House, Brier Woods, and Highlander House, and to pay off existing bonds for the Village at Overlake Station.

Strategic acquisition of Highlander House Apartments preserves housing stability for families now and in the future.
The property, located at 1115 N. 183rd St. in Shoreline, is a single two-story wood frame, with four 1-bedroom rental homes and 19 2-bedroom rental homes that can accommodate families. All units are currently occupied by people living on lower incomes, paying rents that are below the rising market rates. The purchase price is $4.29 million, well under the cost of redevelopment. KCHA’s acquisition of the property will keep rents affordable for current and future residents.
New manufactured homes are now for sale for people age 55 and over, starting at $210,000, at KCHA's Rainier View in Black Diamond. Learn more.

Neighborhood House, in partnership with the King County Housing Authority (KCHA), is proud to announce the grand opening of the Seola Gardens Early Learning Center. This new facility will provide culturally responsive, high-quality early education for children ages 1 to 5, fostering growth and development in the diverse community around Seola Gardens in White Center.
The King County Housing Authority provides rental housing and rental assistance to more than 18,000 families. We serve people with low and moderate incomes throughout the county — except incorporated areas in Seattle and Renton.
The King County Housing Authority continues to build and expand community facilities at many of its properties. These resources keep families healthy and help children succeed in school. They also help parents attain job skills that support economic self-sufficiency.
As a result of renovations inside and out, the King County Housing Authority's subsidized housing properties look as good as or better than housing in the surrounding community.
Working with a network of partners, the King County Housing Authority provides a variety of resources to help kids succeed in school and in life. This includes after-school tutoring, enrichment classes, computer labs, and community centers.
KCHA transforms distressed communities through well-designed, higher density, mixed-income housing. These homes offer easy access to supportive services, mass transit, and jobs. Parks, trails, art, and community spaces complete the vision.
KCHA incorporates environmental considerations into all of its development projects. This includes building "green" and better integrating housing with transit, shopping, services, recreation, and access to jobs.
