How MHA Works in Seattle
Under Seattle's Mandatory Housing Affordability, private residential developers in high-density or transit corridors are granted zoning density bonuses or tax incentives in exchange for dedicating a permanent percentage of their units at below-market rates.
1
Luxury Amenities Included: Residents in MHA units have identical access to building doormen, rooftop lounges, fitness centers, and package rooms.
2
Strict Income Window: Your household gross earnings must fall between the minimum rent-to-income floor (typically 2.5x annual rent) and the local HUD AMI ceiling.
3
Lease Direct or Lottery: Depending on the development, units are leased on a rolling first-come-first-served basis directly through management or through municipal lottery portals.
