North Housing

The North Housing Master Plan is a multi-year commitment for the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA), along with Island City Development, to create 586 homes to serve low-income Alamedans in need of affordable housing.  The twelve acres allocated for North Housing is situated at the former naval base and was granted to the Housing Authority (in 2019) via the Surplus Land Act by the U.S. Department of Navy.    The first 109 new affordable homes are coming to North Housing via two new housing developments (The Estuary I and Linnet Corner).   These two new developments will provide housing for homeless and formerly homeless individuals, military veterans, and for seniors (ages 62+).  Construction of the first two buildings (The Estuary I and Linnet Corner) are nearing completion, with Estuary I opening in July and Linnet Corner opening in October.

Interested parties will need to sign up to receive email updates regarding North Housing by completing the webform and selecting the “North Housing” checkbox on the following webpage: www.ahagroup.click

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
