Affordable Options

ARCH Rental Program

ARCH is a partnership of the County and East King County Cities working to preserve and increase the supply of housing for low and moderate income households in the region. Our coalition has helped to create over 7,000 affordable homes in communities of opportunity.
ARCH supports its members to develop housing policies, strategies and regulations; efficiently administer housing programs; coordinate city investments in affordable housing; and assist people looking for affordable rental and ownership housing.

 

Income Guidelines

Affordable housing below market rates are available to all who meet the income guidelines. ARCH’s income and rent guidelines limit the incomes of eligible tenants, as well as the maximum rents that may be charged, to ensure that housing is affordable to those who need it.

 

How to Use The Income Guidelines

Identify the percent of area median income (AMI) that your household will likely fall into in the chart below (based on the annual income of all household members over 18).
Note: total household income cannot exceed the above listed amount – For example: a 2-person household that makes $70,850 would qualify for a unit that allows incomes up to 80% AMI, but not 60% AMI. Please consider this when contacting properties.
Upon application, property managers will conduct an income calculation and verification to confirm eligibility.
