Archdiocesan Housing Authority

Archdiocesan Housing Authority, doing business as Catholic Housing Services Of Western Washington, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington that operates as a federal grant recipient (86% of recent awards as prime recipient) providing permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals, chronically homeless families, elderly residents, and homeless veterans across the Puget Sound region.

The organization's federal grant footprint centers on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which has generated 35 awards since 2021 and funds housing operations and supportive services across four named facilities: Ozanam House (41 units for adult men), Dorothy Day House (17 units for adult women), Noel House at Bakhita Gardens (20 units), and Thea Bowman Apartments in Kent (45 units). Representative recent CoC awards include a $127,790 project grant dated December 1, 2025 (completion November 30, 2026) supporting permanent supportive housing operations and rapid rehousing initiatives, and a $209,038 project grant dated November 1, 2025 (completion October 31, 2026) funding housing case management, mental health treatment, substance abuse support, and job training services for chronically homeless populations. The organization also receives HUD funding under the Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing (SCMF) program; a project grant awarded January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2027) funds service coordination positions to connect elderly residents and persons with disabilities with community-based supportive services.

Beyond HUD, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has funded five awards supporting transitional housing operations and case management services for homeless veterans. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration has placed four awards funding engagement coordinator and clinic services to provide HIV preventative care and primary health care in south King County. The organization receives a small sub-award footprint (14% of total awards) as a sub-recipient under City of Seattle and King County HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) and health-care program grants, providing housing placement, rental assistance, case management, and outreach services for persons living with HIV.

Total obligated dollars across all awards since 2007 reach $13.3 million, distributed across five distinct federal customer agencies. Award volume has grown from two in 2022 to seven in 2025, though recent-year awards remain modest in scale (mostly sub-$250 thousand project grants). Three awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. The corporate structure includes six named non-profit subsidiaries—Redmond Elderly Housing Association, Sunrise Court Housing, Kincaid Housing, Halcyon Foundation, Aha-Pierce County Association, and Pioneer Court Housing—that expand the organization's housing portfolio across Western Washington and Pierce County.
