Set Aside Program

Income Qualified Reserved Units

Canterbury Manor was financed with tax-exempt bonds through the Washington State Housing and Finance Commission (WSHFC). In return Canterbury Manor’s owner, Episcopal Retirement Communities, agrees to reserve a percentage of units for low-income households.

There are two categories of low-income reserved units for which income eligibility must be verified; Qualified Residents, a household with a combined gross income of no more than 80% of the area median income, and Additionally Qualified Residents, a household with a combined gross income of no more than 50% of the area median income. In the Qualified category no less than 7 units must be set aside and in the Additionally Qualified category no less than 9 units must be reserved.

If you feel that you may qualify for one of these programs, please see the Administrator.
