Housing Services
The Yakima Housing Authority (YHA) offers affordable housing through a variety of programs. Each program is designed to meet the needs of our community.
Housing for Families
YHA offers two housing programs for low income families. The first is our Family Housing/Low Rent Program which has 150 units at scattered sites across Yakima. Rent is determined based on family income.
The second program is our Housing Choice Vouchers – Section 8 Program. Eligible families will receive rental assistance and can rent from any landlord that accepts Section 8 vouchers. Unit size and maximum rent limits apply. Search for available units here.
