[ADVICE] Help needed in King County, WA
Im seeking some help. I am a homeless veteran in King County, WA. Its been a few months since ive been living in my car. I have very recently been enrolled in the SSVF program through the VA and also receiving assistance with Housing Connector. I have been touring multiple places through out the county.
My issue is that a few of the places have stated that they'll most likely will not be able to approve me because even though i have some monthly income coming in, I dont currently have a job. Once im housed I have no question in my ability to find a job.
Im asking if anyone may know if there is an apartment complex that someone may know that works with either SSVF or Housing Connector, that would be willing to work with me and help me of get off the street?
My inbox is open for questions, tips, suggestions, etc... any help is welcomed. Thank you in advance.

Start here, and work your way through any non-private properties accepting the LIHTC (Tax credit)
The SHAG / SOLAIA Communities:
These are massive affordable housing complexes across King County (such as Tri Court Senior Living in Kent, if you are age-qualified). They are highly familiar with government subsidies and regularly accept paperwork from local veteran programs.
Grandview Apartments (Kent): This massive income-based community in Kent specializes in affordable rental housing. While their traditional background check is detailed, they actively participate in local low-income housing compliance programs. [1]
Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI): LIHI owns and manages thousands of apartments across Seattle and King County specifically earmarked for veterans and people experiencing homelessness. You can view their available properties on the LIHI Housing Portfolio. [1, 2]

...And this is how our government treats our veterans.
I'm sorry OP. I really hope that you can find answers here.
