Alameda County 10-Year Housing Plan 2025-2035

On August 1, 2024, Alameda County Housing and Community Development released the newly produced 10-Year Housing Plan to drive the County’s investments in housing affordability for the next decade. The Housing Plan will serve as a policy and planning framework for implementing efforts to address the housing and homelessness crisis impacting Alameda County.

- Housing Plan List of Appendices
The Housing Plan lays out how we can produce new housing, preserve existing affordable units, and protect vulnerable residents living here now. Because we all belong in Alameda County.
HCD is seeking public feedback on the plan using the feedback form. The public comment period will be open for 45 days starting from August 1, 2024. If you are unable to use the form, you can email HCD your comments to the address: HCD.Policy.Program@acgov.org.
Alameda County’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
Every five years the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires participating jurisdictions to provide an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice. For the 2025-29 AI, Alameda County has collaborated with all of the cities in Alameda County, and the housing authorities of City of Alameda, City of Berkeley, City of Livermore, City of Oakland, and Alameda County, to develop a Regional AI to meet the HUD requirement.
Read the AI HERE. If you have any comments regarding the AI, please submit them to Katie Alducin at katie.Alducin@acgov.org.
The purpose of the AI is to identify and evaluate potential obstacles or impediments, in both the private and public sector, to a person’s ability to choose their residence free from discrimination, and to recommend actions that address such impediments in a 5-year Fair Housing Action Plan. Impediments to fair housing choice are defined as any actions, omissions, or decisions taken because of race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, source of income, familial status, or national origin that restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choice; or that have this effect.
