Best low income buildings (Seattle, Rainier: apartment, crime, homes)

[Uhuh]

Hello, I have been diligently seeking a new apartment for my wife, and small dog, and have been coming across a lot of low income buildings. Before moving to Portland I had a different idea of low income buildings, I always thought they were like project homes, but I was definitely wrong when I toured some in Portland. Now my query here is which Seattle low income buildings are comparable to say Portland's low income buildings. Seeing as my wife and I make $18 p/h combined, it is low, but it is steady, and I believe would allow us to move into a low income building. Can someone help narrow down some of the better low income buildings, in Downtown, Belltown, Capitol hill, First hill. We do not own a car, so convenience to a grocer, maybe a thorough bus route, or some bike trails, would be very important, but the most important would be, we have a smaller dog, and we vowed till death do us part, so a pet friendly building would be superb. Thank you

Be forewarned, there is a huge waiting list to get into low-income housing. It could take two or three years to get one.

And they are not located in those desirable areas of Seattle. Most are housing authority developments, located in Rainier Valley, South Seattle and West Seattle. You might also find that with your combined income and only 2 people you make too much to qualify for many of the programs.

Thank you guys for this info, I feel these places are defiantly not what we are looking for. Any advice for pioneer square area or china town? Is it comparable in crime to Portland's china town?
