2021 Emergency Housing Vouchers – June 2021

2021 Emergency Housing Vouchers – June 2021

June 1, 2022

Over 70,000 vouchers were granted to public housing authorities across the country via the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was approved by the Federal Government and is administered by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) is set to receive 57 of those Emergency Housing Vouchers to help prevent and end homelessness in the City of Alameda.

During the week of June 30th,  Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) offices will only be open Monday (June 30), Tuesday (July 1), and Wednesday (July 2) during the hours of 8:30am to 11:30am.   AHA offices will be closed on Thursday, July 3rd and Friday, July 4th.

In recent weeks, the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) issued over 60,000 letters regarding the December 2024 waitlist opening.   Unfortunately, AHA cannot respond to your emails or phone calls. Applicants are advised to closely review any letter(s) sent from AHA and/or a “Save My Spot” email from cdr@yardi.com.

If you selected multiple wait lists when you applied in December 2024, you may be notified multiple times via written letter for each wait list you applied to.   A lottery for each wait list is performed separately.  So applicants may, for example, be selected for one wait list but not selected for another wait list.   See FAQs for more information.  Please also note that being selected for a wait list does not mean housing is available immediately.
