I am a resident and my unit has damages, what do I do?

July 8, 2022

If you are a resident that does not participate in the programs offered by AHA, you should contact either legal counsel provided by AHA’s Ombudsman (free legal services listing). Participants of AHA’s programs with health and safety issues may ask for a special inspection by calling (510) 690-8290 or via email at hqsinspections@alamedahsg.org. Any damages noted on the inspection’s checklist will need to be addressed by the responsible party. Feel free to review the City’s Code Enforcement department, via this webpage: https://www.alamedarentprogram.org/Resources/Additional-Housing-Resources/Maintenance-Resources

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 emails and letter(s) sent from AHA.

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.

Applicants can log in to the applicant portal here: The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda Online Portal
