Affordable Housing Resource Program
DNDA owns a variety of rental properties in the Delridge community. With these properties, DNDA's goals are:
- to offer housing that is less expensive than for-profit buildings so that families with lower incomes can always live in Delridge
- to take good care of the properties that we own so that they are comfortable to live in, and assets to the community
Most DNDA apartments are leased at a fixed rent. A few apartments in each DNDA building have 'Project Based' Section 8 subsidy. In 'Project Based' Section 8 units, tenants pay 30% of their income for rent which allows us to provide housing for some people and families with very low incomes. For all other apartments, residents must earn at least two times the rent.
The process for moving into DNDA housing is described below. If you have questions after you have read the information below or to find out about current rents and availability, please contact Shelly Dinwiddie .
How do I qualify for DNDA housing?
DNDA is an equal opportunity housing provider and does not discriminate against any applicant because of race, religion, creed, color, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, political ideology, ancestry, national origin, or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability. DNDA takes affirmative action to ensure that applicants are treated equally.
Minimum Income: For apartments with Project Based Section 8 certificates, there is no minimum income. For all other apartments, applicants must earn at least two times the rent to qualify.
Maximum Income: Some units have no maximum income restrictions, however, most apartments rented by DNDA require that you earn below 50% of the Seattle area median income based on the size of your household.

If there is an apartment available at the time you apply and no one is on our waiting list for that unit, you may be immediately offered a unit. If not, then you will be placed on our waiting list. When an apartment is available, applicants will be contacted in the order they were placed on the waiting list. When you are contacted, you will be able to tour the unit, and if interested, you will be asked for a credit check fee to begin the screening process.
