Housing Authority of the City of Alameda

Kayla Lipsey

If I could give 0 stars trust me I would! This is the most unorganized housing authority to date!! I went in for a screening, I was then told I never came to the appointment and was removed off the list. Then they kept saying that I needed to prove that I lived in Alameda city which I never claimed, I selected that I work in Alameda county. They also sent documents to my address in San Joaquin county which further validates I don’t live in Alameda or the county. I proved that I worked in Alameda county (downtown Oakland) and they wanted me to request a informal interview to be added back to the waitlist. I THANK GOD that I don’t need housing and it just would have been convenient for my job. However, I can work from home and I pray for anyone that actually needs this help because the people are rude, unprofessional and act like they’re doing you a favor like they funded the housing directly from their pockets! If you can find something better, I highly recommend it before having to deal with individuals as such!

👉I did my part during recertification period in July. Its now Sept. and no rental adjustment, email or vmail response at all. This is the second delemna of Covid19 on my part everything was done in a timely manner. Today at the Alameda Office employees were going in/out through the back door. A taped voice message says "we our overwhelmed" sorry knowing them i am not buying it. The landlords dont want to hear that and rent is due. 👈 I object too the runaround, rental fee-double standards-knowing thats its COVID19, ernormous paper work-timely, not replying: email, vmail, text just for a rental adjustments. In the past results were produced in 2 weeks from deadline. I will be in tomorrow hopefully i will get a reply with positive results. Rite now I not a happy camper runarounds seems to be a regular routine and hearing. If change in housing is going to occur with all pertinient neccessities of life this is the time to do that, and to consider including 1/2 stipend by the state. 🤣Ya vote how we control fees increases, on usage of manatory neccessities, which are HIGH with a permanent stipend regardless of status conditions. Its a start using judgements calls made by a diversfied panel. UNCONDITIONAL🤑

My name has been on the waiting list for over 10 years, I wish they would send me an update. It is so hard getting information from this group :-( tears...
