Apply for Housing

Thank you for your interest in finding housing at EBALDC. We currently manage 30 properties in the cities of Oakland, Emeryville, Richmond and San Pablo providing quality, safe and affordable homes for moderate, low and extremely low-income residents.

EBALDC has a pre-application process which is different for our Below Market Rate (BMR) units, for our subsidized Project Based Voucher (PBV) units, for our Moderate-Income (HAF) units, and also when we are leasing up a brand new building. When a waitlist or interest list opens, where to pick up and how to return the pre-application for that opening will be publicly announced and posted on this web site.

Pre-applications are normally available to access or download on this web page. Depending on the opening, pre-applications may be:

  • Accessed and submitted online only
  • Downloaded from this website and/or picked up at the property site only
  • Returned in person or by mail only

All requests for reasonable accommodations will be considered.
The process and eligibility requirements do differ by list opening/building so please take note of individual announcements.

EBALDC Waiting Lists – General Information

EBALDC leases its vacant units by selecting applicants from the property’s waiting list.  There are different kinds of waiting lists at EBALDC, depending on the property and/or unit type.  Unit types include Below Market Rate/Affordable Housing (BMR) units, Project-Based Voucher (PBV) units and Moderate Income (Housing Acquisition Fund – HAF) units.

The Annual Marketing List (AML)

EBALDC’s Annual Marketing List will be archived and will not be used for leasing vacant units after January 2024.

If you still want to be considered for Affordable Housing units within the EBALDC portfolio, you must re‐apply as individual waitlists for each property are opened.  Please watch for announcements on EBALDC’s website and on the Alameda County Housing Portal at https://housing.acgov.org/

Project Based Voucher (PBV) Waiting Lists are used to lease vacant PBV units at certain EBALDC properties.   These properties open and manage their own site-based PBV waiting list.  PBV units are governed and subsidized by the Oakland Housing Authority (OHA) where rents are typically 30% of household income.

The Housing Acquisition Fund (HAF) Portfolio Waiting List is used to lease vacant Moderate-Income units at EBALDC.

Visit our Housing FAQ page to find out what properties have certain unit types and other housing information at EBALDC.
