Why is Seattle Housing Authority replacing traditional family housing open to anyone on the agencys waiting list with housing that is restricted to the elderly?
Elderly single-person households have always been a large component of Seattle Housing Authority’s resident mix. They also make up a large portion of the waiting list. By building housing specifically for the elderly, the agency is taking advantage of federal funding for this type of housing while preparing for the future when additional housing for the elderly will be needed even more than it is now.
