Housing Services Office - Affordable Housing Opportunity

This is to advise you that the Housing Authority of the County of Alameda (HACA) will be accepting applications from families eligible to occupy three-bedroom and four-bedroom Public Housing and Project-Based units.

The Housing Authority serves all the cities and unincorporated areas in Alameda County with the exception of Alameda, Berkeley, Livermore and Oakland.  HACA has, or will have, 109 three-bedroom units through the Public Housing and Project-Based Voucher programs located in the cities of Castro Valley, Dublin, Fremont, Hayward and Union City.  HACA has or will have 12 four-bedroom units through these programs located in the cities of Dublin and Union City. 

The waiting list is not open for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program or for one-bedroom, two-bedroom or larger than four-bedroom applicants at this time; however, we anticipate opening the waiting list for all programs, including Section 8, and all household sizes some time next year. 

Applications will be accepted on-line only and may be submitted anytime day or night between 9:00 a.m. December 19, 2011 through 4:00 p.m. December 22, 2011.  The application will be available on HACA’s website at www.haca.net by clicking on “2011 PH and PB Wait List” during this time period.  The date and time of the application will not affect the applicant’s placement on the wait list as long as it is submitted during the opening period.  All eligible applications will be placed on the wait list.  Applications will then be selected by lottery as units become available.

Please distribute this information to any staff members who you believe may receive calls or requests for housing assistance information.
