What if I want to add/remove someone to my household?

July 8, 2022

Tenants must obtain prior approval from the Landlord to add/remove any members to the household, including live-in aides, and further agree not to allow any additional members of the household to move in without Landlord’s approval. If you receive a Section 8 Housing subsidy you must also contact your Housing Specialist.

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
