What you agree to

I hereby certify that the information I have provided in this application is true and accurate. I understand that if I do not provide all of the information requested, or if I make property selections for which I’m not eligible, my name may not be added to the waitlist. I understand that any misrepresentation or false information may result in my application being canceled or denied, or in the termination of housing assistance. I understand that at the time I reach the top of the waitlist, I will be required to provide verification of the information I have provided here, in accordance with federal housing regulations and Seattle Housing Authority policy. I accept full responsibility for keeping Seattle Housing Authority informed of my current address, and I understand that my application may be canceled if I fail to do so. I understand that after I am placed on the waitlist I must check in via the “Save My Spot” system once a month either by phone at 206.256.7000 or 866.623.5111 or online at SaveMySpot.org to stay on the waitlist.

Privacy Act Notice Authority: The Department of Housing and Urban Development is authorized to collect this information by the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437 et.seq.), Title VI of the Civil Right Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19) and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3543). Purpose: Your income and other information are being collected by HUD to determine your eligibility, the appropriate bedroom size, and the amount your household will pay toward rent and utilities. Other Uses: HUD uses your family income and other information to assist in managing and monitoring HUD-assisted housing programs, to protect the Government’s financial interest, and to verify the accuracy of the information you provide. This information may be released to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, when relevant, and to civil, criminal, or regulatory investigators and prosecutors. However, the information will not be otherwise disclosed or released outside of HUD, except as permitted or required by law. Penalty: You must provide all of the information requested by the HA (Housing Authority), including all Social Security Numbers you, and all other members age six years and older, have and use. Not providing the Social Security Numbers will affect your eligibility. Failure to provide any of the requested information may result in a delay or rejection of your eligibility approval.

After you apply

If SHA accepts your application, it sends a confirmation and puts your household on the property waitlists you selected. This does not reserve an available unit.
Applicants 62 or older have first priority. Applicants already living in Seattle also receive priority; other applicants may apply.
Check in once a month through Save My Spot at https://savemyspot.seattlehousing.org/ or by phone at 206-256-7000 or 866-623-5111 to stay on the waitlist.
Tell SHA in writing when your address, income or household size changes. Respond by the deadline in any request for information or appointment.
Near the top of the waitlist, SHA mails more paperwork. Return it so SHA can schedule an interview and verify your answers.
Contact SHA if you have not received confirmation within three weeks of applying.
Published property wait times are historical estimates, not an offer or a predicted move-in date. They cover applicants with the highest priority; other applicants’ wait times are unknown.
SHA may reject an incomplete or unreadable application without notice. False information may lead to cancellation, denial or termination of assistance.
Missing monthly check-ins, missed reply deadlines or returned mail can cancel the application.
Changing your selected properties requires starting a new waitlist with a new application date.
You do not need U.S. citizenship to apply. For federally subsidized units, at least one household member needs U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status at move-in. Mixed eligible households receive prorated assistance.
SHA sends a waitlist confirmation with Save My Spot instructions. Contact SHA if its information is wrong or your mailing address changes.
Before a denial based on criminal history, SHA gives notice and a copy of the criminal record so the applicant can dispute its accuracy and relevance. Criminal history is reviewed case by case.

Before you send it

Choose at least one property. You may choose up to two properties in each program. An application without a property choice will not be processed.
Use SHA’s homelessness definition. Staying temporarily with family or friends does not count for this application.
Sex, ethnicity, race and U.S. veteran questions are optional.
Disability details are not needed unless you request an accessible unit.
Do not use this application for Housing Choice Vouchers, Special Portfolio or Tax Credit housing.
Use the current form. SHA may reject an outdated application.
The printed form gives fax 206-239-1770, while the application guide gives 206-239-1780. Confirm the correct number with SHA before faxing.
Signatures, signing dates and the office time stamp are handled outside the question walkthrough.
