We’re proposing changes to our waitlist
THA is proposing changes to the way our low-income housing waitlist works, and we want to hear your thoughts!
The changes will not impact people currently on THA’s waitlist.
Tacoma Housing Authority’s waitlist is set up for those looking for affordable housing. We offer two main kinds of housing help: affordable apartments for rent, or a voucher to help pay the rent in Tacoma.
We typically open our waitlist to applicants every couple of years. You can sign up to receive an email notification the next time THA’s waitlist opens.
I’m Already on the Waitlist. What’s Next?
We no longer give an estimated wait time for households on our waitlist. We aim to serve households within two years. The wait time for smaller households may be longer due to availability of units. See the waitlist FAQs for more information.
Update your application
Use our Waitlist Applicant Update Form to keep your contact details and household information up to date.
We contact everyone on the waitlist once a year to make sure they still need housing assistance. If you do not respond or we are unable to contact you, we will remove you from the waitlist.
You also need to update us if you need to add or remove people from your household, or if anyone becomes disabled. This may impact the type of assistance you qualify for.
If you are unable to submit changes through the form or need assistance, call (253) 207-4400.
