Pricing
Rents in our housing are set to stay affordable, usually as a share of household income rather than the open market rate.
Affordable housing is priced against income, not the market. For most of our homes, rent is calculated so that housing stays within reach — commonly around 30% of a qualifying household’s income.
Eligibility and exact rent depend on household size, income and the specific program a home falls under. The ranges below are indicative.
| Item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | $900 – $1,600 / mo | Income-qualified; well below market rate for Alameda. |
| 2-bedroom | $1,300 – $2,100 / mo | Family-sized units, subject to availability and income limits. |
| Application | No charge | We never charge to apply or to join a waiting list. |
These are indicative, income-qualified ranges, not open-market rents. Actual rent is set by program rules and your household income, and we will walk you through it.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact us — checking is free, and we would rather you ask than assume you do not.
