HUD Housing

About Us

The Tulalip Tribes Housing Department manages 159 rental units that were developed under two housing programs, namely, the 1937 Housing Act and the Indian Housing Block Grant program. To qualify for these programs, families must be Native Americans with an annual income that does not exceed 80% of the median income for Snohomish and King Counties. To check the current income limits summary, please visit the URL provided in the annual posting.

Additionally, applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria, such as having no family members with a history of drugrelated or violent criminal behavior and having no past-due debt to the Tulalip Tribes. Families are required to pay 20% of their monthly adjusted income as rent and provide a security deposit of $500 ($250 for senior citizens). Due to the high demand for these rental units, there is a waiting list, but we are still accepting applications.

At HUD Housing, we prioritize the welfare of our tenants by providing a range of services that cater to their needs and improve their quality of life. Our tenant services department offers resources and information on various topics, including health and wellness, education and job training, financial literacy, and community engagement. By investing in our tenants' well-being, we can foster stronger and more resilient communities.

HUD Maintenance

Our top priority is to provide our tenants with high-quality maintenance services. Our maintenance team is always ready to address any issues that may arise, 24/7. Whether it's a broken appliance, plumbing concerns, or pest infestations, we respond promptly and efficiently to resolve the issue. We understand the importance of timely maintenance to ensure our tenants' safety and comfort and take this responsibility seriously. Additionally, we conduct regular preventative maintenance inspections to identify and address potential issues before they escalate. Our dedication to quality maintenance services is vital in providing our tenants with a superior living experience.
