About this resource

This initiative provides support in the form of rent assistance, gas vouchers, and bus tickets for individuals living in the Federal Way School District. To qualify for rent assistance, applicants must not be more than one month behind on their rent. Individuals should visit in person during designated intake hours, as assistance is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Note that only two gas vouchers are available each Tuesday (in total).

Intake Procedure: Individuals should come in person for intake. Please refrain from calling or visiting the church office; intake occurs in the lower hall of the Church through the door next to the small portable. For further information and guidelines, please check the website.

Fees: There are no fees associated with this program.

To be eligible, individuals must reside within specific Zip Codes: 98003 or 98023 (Federal Way), 98001 (South of 272nd and West of 51st in Auburn), or 98422 (NE Tacoma).
