I already provide my income information to AHA, why do I need to do recertification for property management as well?

July 8, 2022

The Section 8 program is a separate program run by the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda and the information provided stays with that program. All of the properties owned/managed by AHA have other funding requirements that require a separate certification to be done by property management. We appreciate your help in completing all of the required paperwork in a timely manner.

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.
