About This City of Berkeley Housing Authority
The City of Berkeley Housing Authority is responsible for managing programs that provide housing assistance to low income residents. These programs include Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8. Eligibility is determined based on income, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the criteria. Due to high demand for housing assistance in the area, there may be a waiting list for vouchers or rentals, and sometimes the lists close to new applicants. If you need assistance, please contact the Housing Authority directly for more information on eligibility requirements, availability of assistance or rentals, waiting list status, and application procedures. The office is open Monday to Thursday from 8:15am to 4:30pm and is ready to assist you.
How to apply
Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is usually owned by a government
authority, either central or local. The federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department
addressed concerns of distressed properties and blighted superblocks with revitalization and funding
projects for the renewal of public housing to decrease its density and allow for tenants with mixed
income levels.
