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. |
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. |
|
Since the cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Livermore and Oakland
have their own Housing Authorities, the Housing Authority does
not provide rental assistance to those cities. The Housing
Authority of Alameda County serves the following
jurisdictions:
Incorporated
Cities: Albany, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward,
Newark, Pleasanton, San Leandro, Union City.
Unincorporated
Areas: Castro Valley, San Lorenzo. |
