Rent and Emergency Assistance Application – Federal Way

Please do not apply if you are not with the city and income limits posted. If you meet the initial eligibility guidelines, you can expect to be contacted within the next three business days to provide further information for your application. If you do not respond this inquiry for information, we may not be able to provide assistance to you.

If your application is successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation page on the website and a confirmation email. If you do not receive both of these, your inquiry was not successfully submitted. This may occur as many individuals can be completing the inquiry at the same time and we only have limited applications available.

If your application submission is not successful, you will remain on this page and a notice that we have reached capacity may appear below.

DO NOT COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION IF YOU DO NOT LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF FEDERAL WAY, WA. YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE REVIEWED AND YOU WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE FOR ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS.
