E-News monthly newsletter
WBARS is used by affordable housing owners, property managers, and public agencies in Washington State. It streamlines asset management, compliance tracking, and the submission of required annual performance and financial reports.
WBARS is being updated, and the new version (WBARS 3.0) will go live on Monday, September 14, 2026. The current version of WBARS will be taken offline on Friday, September 11, in preparation for the transition to the new system.
When WBARS 3.0 launches, you will notice a new landing page and updated interface. Your existing WBARS login credentials will continue to be used for the new system. We encourage you to spend some time familiarizing yourself with the new layout.
The main functions can be accessed using the links at the very top left part of your screen (Dashboard, Export Reports, Projects, Orgs & Users, and Report Submissions).
If you import your property management data into WBARS, you will find this function on the Report Submissions page. Start by clicking the Report Submissions link at the top of the page, then click the Bulk Upload button found on the far right above the list of your projects. Click “Import Table 1” to be taken to the import page and follow the steps noted on that page.
Help resources are still being added to WBARS 3.0, so you may notice that some areas currently contain more help information than others. If you are unable to complete a function, encounter an error, or notice incorrect information, please contact the funder associated with your property for assistance.
Please note that the annual WBARS reporting deadlines will remain unchanged. Please continue to follow the your funders' reporting requirements. If you have any questions, please contact your property's monitoring Portfolio Analyst here at the Commission, or reach out to your property's other funder(s).
We thank you in advance for your patience as we manage the transition to the new system. We look forward to continuing to improve WBARS and the resources available to WBARS users.
