Be aware that most listings for affordable housing have waiting lists. We encourage you to apply to as many as possible so we hope you will check the website once a month for new listings. To obtain an application contact the property manager or go to the property management office.

Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program Waiting List – Resource Num: 74182475
The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda is OPENING a housing wait list application for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and Select Project-Based Voucher (PBV) programs on Tuesday, December 3rd at 12pm through Monday, December 16th at 12pm. For more information, please visit: https://www.alamedahsg.org/applicants/wait-lists/
The Housing Authority serves the following cities: Albany,Emeryville, Castro Valley, Dublin Fremont, Hayward, Newark, Pleasanton, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Union City and unincorporated areas within the County.
HCV rent is based on 30% of the household’s monthly adjusted income. The voucher holder finds a landlord who is willing to rent a house or apartment that is within the Housing Authority’s Payment Standard and meets the Housing Authority’s inspection standards. Voucher holders are permitted to transfer their rental assistance anywhere in the US where there is a public housing authority.
The Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program provides rental assistance in a specific unit at a property that is owned by HACA. Like the HCV program, people with Project-Based Voucher assistance pay rent based on 30% of the household’s monthly income. However, PBV assistance cannot be taken from unit to unit because it is held by the property. When a tenant moves out, the assistance goes to the next tenant who occupies the unit.
