Yes. Every home at Trace 4001 is income-restricted through Seattle's Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) and Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) programs — making high-quality apartment living more attainable in Othello. We're also proud to partner with Amazon and its Housing Equity Fund.

Both are City of Seattle programs that set aside apartment homes for income-qualified households. Each program sets income limits based on a percentage of the area median income (AMI) and caps the rent on qualifying homes, so what you pay stays within reach for your full lease term.

Limits depend on your household size and the home you choose. We offer homes across a wide range of AMI levels — here are the maximum annual incomes for one- and two-person households:

Household size limits and AMI percentage are determined by home type. Larger households may also qualify, depending on the home and availability. Limits are subject to change.

First, complete Thrive's standard application and screening. Then our team certifies that your household income is eligible for the program tied to the home you've selected. Once you're approved, your income-qualified rent is capped at a maximum amount for your full lease term.

Plan to provide proof of income for every adult in your household.  Our team will share the complete checklist when you apply and can answer any questions along the way.
