Eviction Prevention

It can be scary knowing you may be evicted soon. Rent payments, a dispute with your landlord, or other difficulties may have put your housing at risk. At Wellspring Family Services, we can provide financial assistance for low-income families and individuals living in Seattle as well as advocacy, eviction prevention and housing stability services to those who qualify. We want to help you maintain your housing and stabilize your living situation.

  • Have an income that is 1.5 times the amount of your rent.
  • Provide a lease agreement that includes the name of the person seeking rent assistance.
