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.

Housing for the Homeless

YHA subsidizes 75 units located throughout Yakima County specifically set aside for individuals and families that qualify as homeless.  YHA has partnered with several not-for profit organizations which allow eligible tenants to receive assistance with health care, substance abuse and job training.

Housing for Veterans

YHA offers a Section 8 Voucher Program specifically for Veterans who also qualify as homeless under the Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing Program (VASH).

In connection with this program, YHA also offers assistance with landlord security deposits and utility deposits.

Housing for Farmworkers

YHA owns and manages 172 units throughout Yakima County which are set aside for farmworkers and their families.  Reduced rents and rental assistance may be available.

Housing for the Elderly

YHA owns and manages a 38-unit apartment building in Yakima for the elderly. In order to qualify for the one-bedroom units, the individual and his or her spouse must be 62 or older.
