Housing Subsidy

Housing Choice Vouchers:  The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program allows the Housing Authority to subsidize the rent for 1675 households in Housing Authority-owned and in privately owned units. 

Bessie Coleman Court:  This privately-owned, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy complex has 30 units. It is designed to serve formerly homeless single women.  The Housing Authority administers the program.

Shelter-Plus-Care Program:  This federally-subsidized program is funded through Alameda County and is partially administered by the Housing Authority.  There are 14 service-supported units for families with specific disabilities. 

Owned and Managed Complexes and Units

Anne B. Diament Plaza (built 1975) is a 65-unit complex for very-low income seniors at Park Street and Otis Drive.  Most units are occupied by Housing Choice Voucher holders; some units are in the Section 8 project-based program.  Both programs provide a subsidy from HUD.

China Clipper Plaza – this 26-unit complex on the 400 block of Buena Vista Avenue was acquired in 1998.  Some units are occupied by Housing Choice Voucher holders; some units are in the Section 8 project-based program.  Currently, rents are based on the following:

3 units – Very-low (HOME) Income
8 units – Lower (HOME) Income
15 units – Affordable

Condominiums (acquired 1996), these seven units for seniors, are located in various condominium complexes throughout Alameda. Rents are based on the HOME very-low income limits shown above.

Eagle Village - (built 1983) is a 42-unit very-low income family complex, on Eagle Avenue between Webster and Constitution.  Units are occupied by Housing Choice Voucher Holders.
