Updated: 6 hours ago

This is Mysti's working directory of housing and help resources for Clallam County, Washington (Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks and surrounding areas). Every link below was opened and every waitlist status was quoted from its source on September 19, 2026. We re-check the whole page monthly (next refresh: October 2026). Statuses change without notice — confirm directly with the agency before you count on anything.

A straight word about rent help: Mysti's helps some clients with move-in, rent, or utility costs, but only through specific funded programs, only when you meet that program's eligibility, and only while funds last. Nobody — not us, not any agency — can promise it. Work your county's Coordinated Entry, 2-1-1, housing authorities, and the local programs below at the same time as anything you do with us.

Senior housing (55+ / 62+) and housing for people with disabilities

How to find open senior housing anywhere in Washington: step-by-step in the statewide guide.

Rent help and eviction prevention (funding-dependent)

These programs open and close as funding arrives and runs out, often within weeks. Call first, ask what is open today, and ask what documents to bring. If you have an eviction notice, contact the legal help below the same day — do not move out just because you received a notice.

Shelter and crisis housing

Utilities and energy bills

Legal help and tenant rights

Veterans

Seniors and people with disabilities — services

Notes from our check

Peninsula Housing Authority's own site does not post a clear current open/closed banner for its Section 8 waitlist; a November 2025 Peninsula Daily News article referenced in search results described a planned lottery-based opening, but that article was not reloaded this session, so the Section 8 status is recorded as unknown rather than assumed open or closed.
