We’re helping to spread the word that, after more than ten years, the Berkeley Housing Authority (BHA) has announced the opening of the Tenant-Based (Housing Choice Voucher) waitlist. The pre-application period to be included in the random draw for placement on the waitlist is July 19 through July 26.

This article is for informational purposes only. BHA manages the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist and program, not the Rent Board. Please contact BHA at (510) 981-5495, or bha@cityofberkeley.info for more information.
Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at 6 a.m., through Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at 5 p.m., is the pre-application period for placement in a random draw of 2,000 applicants who will be placed on BHA’s Housing Choice Voucher waitlist after the pre-application period closes. Not everyone who applies will be placed on the waitlist.
To apply, visit BHA’s website at bha.berkeleyca.gov.
