Updated: 6 hours ago

This is Mysti's working directory of housing and help resources for Grant County, Washington (Moses Lake, Ephrata, Quincy, Soap Lake, Warden 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.

Start here — today

  • Call 2-1-1 (Washington 2-1-1) · wa211.org — Statewide referral line.

  • Coordinated Entry — county access point · 2-1-1. Call 2-1-1 or the Housing Authority of Grant County for a referral to the current coordinated entry access point. This is how most homelessness housing programs decide who gets the next opening — get assessed even if the wait is long.

  • Continuum of Care (CoC) — Grant County is part of the WA Balance of State Continuum of Care coordinates the county's homelessness funding and programs; their site lists current providers.

  • Community Action Agency — Not conclusively identified — no single Grant-County-specific community action agency confirmed
    — Grant County residents appear to access LIHEAP/energy assistance and other Community Services Block Grant-type programs through OIC of Washington (oicofwa.org) and/or the Housing Authority of Grant County's Housing…

  • DSHS Community Services Office — DSHS Community Services Office, Moses Lake (Moses Lake, WA (see DSHS Office Locator for current address/hours)) — apply for cash, food, and medical benefits, or apply online at WashingtonConnection.org.

Nonprofit housing you can apply to directly

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

No shelter with a public page was confirmed in this county on this check. Call 2-1-1 — they know the current shelter and motel-voucher options for your county.

Food

Utilities and energy bills

Legal help and tenant rights

Veterans

  • Grant County Veterans Services · 509-764-6325 — 1008 W Ivy Ave, Moses Lake, WA 98837. Services per WDVA: claims assistance, emergency financial assistance, food assistance, motel/hotel for homeless veterans, employment necessities.

Youth and families

Seniors and people with disabilities — services

Notes from our check

None of HAGC's program pages displayed a dated waitlist status banner, unlike Kennewick's or Chelan's sites, so all Grant County housing authority programs are marked 'unknown' rather than guessed — recommend a follow-up phone call to (509) 762-5541 to get current waitlist status directly.
