How long does the landlord have to fix failed items?

July 8, 2022

Some life-threatening safety items are deemed 24-hour fails and your unit will be respected the next day. Written notice is issued to the adult participant, onsite, on the same day. Additionally, the landlord receives a same-day phone call. Other failed items generally need to be fixed within 30 days, including resident-caused fail items. The unit will be inspected after 21 days to assess progress unless items fall within a list of those that the landlord can self-certify.

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
