General Housing FAQs
These are the most common questions that we receive through our HCD Program reception staff. Does the Housing and Community Development Program help a person find a place to live? No, the Housing and Community Development Program does not provide services that help an individual person(s) find housing in King County. We have a resource section on this web site to assist you in your search for affordable housing. Click here to go to the Housing Resources section. Do you help people buy a home with no downpayment? We do not provide any services directly to the public to help you buy a home, but we do contract with community agencies so that they can provide homebuyer education, counseling and down-payment assistance. Click here to go to the Home Ownership Resources page. Are you the same thing as the King County Housing Authority? No, we are a completely separate entity from the King County Housing Authority, consequently, we cannot answer any questions about King County Housing Authority programs, such as the section 8 voucher program and the public housing program. The general phone number to the King County Housing Authority is 206-574-1100. Can you help me repair the home that I own? King County HCD does provide direct services for income-eligible home owners to repair their home. There are eligibility criteria for each service area of the Home Repair Programs.
