Target Areas

Target areas are census tracts in Washington state that meet federal guidelines as economically distressed and, therefore, given special consideration under the House Key Opportunity program. Use the map to see if a property is within a target area. The map below shows you whether a property under consideration is in a target area. If so, the income limits for a House Key loan are higher.

Use the map to zoom in on an outlined target area. Or, look up the census tract by address here and enter the “tract code” in the search bar. “No Results Found” means the property is not in a target area.
