Housing Authority of the County of Alameda
Mission Statement
Through the delivery of housing assistance and other related services, our mission is to enable our clients to become self-sufficient and economically independent.
For elderly and disabled persons, economic independence and self-sufficiency means the ability to live independently within their economic resources.
For able-bodied family members, economic independence and self-sufficiency means short term reliance on housing assistance; participation in education, training or job development activities designed to lead self-sufficiency in return for the housing assistance; and personal responsibility for the economic consequences of the family's decisions.
About the Housing Authority
The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda was created on August 15, 1968. Its principal programs and its funding are through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Housing Authority provides rental assistance to over 7,000 low income households through its Section 8 and Affordable Housing programs. The Housing Authority provides this assistance without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or disability status.

Incorporated Cities: Albany, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Newark, Pleasanton, San Leandro, Union City.
