Homeownership Programs

House Key Targeted Areas

Persons buying a home in a targeted area do not have to be first-time homebuyers.  Targeted areas are census tracts in Washington state that meet federal guidelines as economically distressed and, therefore, given special consideration under the House Key State Bond Program.  Determine the census tract number of the property.  Helpful resources are the Thomas Guide with Census Tracts, the city or county planning office, and these links: http://www.ffiec.gov/geocode/default.htm | http://factfinder.census.gov.  Check the maps below to determine whether the census tract falls within a target area, or contact askusHO@wshfc.org for assistance.
