How to Apply for Housing at EBALDC

• EBALDC provides quality, affordable housing for low-income households that meet applicable eligibility requirements. We do not provide emergency shelter or transitional housing, and submission of an application does not guarantee housing. Every applicant must go through a verification process that can take several weeks to complete, and there may or may not be an available apartment immediately.
• All households must meet certain income restrictions. Rent will vary depending on the property and the particular unit for which you are eligible (see specific property details for rental rate).
• If we are unable to accommodate your housing needs, then we recommend calling 2-1-1 for referrals to other housing sources. (2-1-1 is also a source of referrals to community agencies and can assist in identifying a range of social services.)
• Be aware of your right to request a reasonable accommodation.
• Review the requirements for the property/properties you are interested in to be sure your household might be eligible (for example, if everyone in your household is not 62 years or older, then you would not qualify for Avalon Senior Housing).

Open Waiting Lists

The following EBALDC properties are now accepting applications for their waiting lists. There may or may not be an apartment available at this time. If eligible, applicants will be added to a waiting list. We cannot predict the length of time before an applicant's name is reached.

One application is used by all properties; if you are interested in applying to multiple properties, then you only need to complete one application, which is available by download on this site, from the EBALDC main office, or from the property's management office (please call ahead to be sure the office will be open). For more information about each property, click the name of the property below or review the summary found in the Application Package, also in Chinese.*Please note that the rental rates are subject to change.*

Eligibility requirements and further details about the properties and the waitlist / application process can be found in the property’s Resident Selection Criteria and in the Application Package.

A security deposit equal to one month's rent is required.
