Alameda Housing Authority Opens Housing Wait List

The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) is set to open its wait list for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) and select Project-Based Voucher (PBV) programs. This application period is scheduled from December 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM (PST) to December 16, 2024, at 12:00 PM (PST). This initiative aims to help low-income families gain access to safe and affordable housing options in the Alameda community.

Application Process

To facilitate the application process for all interested parties, AHA has made the entire housing wait list application available online. Accessible at AHA's website, the application will be provided in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. This inclusive approach ensures that community members who are least likely to apply can also benefit from this opportunity.

• - Alameda Boys and Girls Club (1900 Third Street)
• - Alameda Free Library (1550 Oak Street)
• - College of Alameda (Room A200, Ralph Appezzato Way)
• - Alameda Point Collaborative (2550 Monarch Street)
• - Independence Plaza (703 Atlantic Avenue)
• - Mastick Senior Center (1155 Santa Clara Avenue)

This initiative, which represents a significant service to the community, aims to maximize accessibility throughout the application process.
