Here are resources for legal assistance if you are being threatened with eviction:
Additional Alameda County Resources:
Even though the state eviction moratorium expires September 30, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors has enacted a temporary moratorium on evictions countywide in response to the pandemic. The temporary moratorium imposes a ban on evictions for renters, homeowners and those living in mobile home parks throughout Alameda County beginning March 24, 2020 until 60 days after the end of the local health emergency.
Help is also available through Housing Is Key, a statewide program to help income-eligible tenants and landlords. For more information, visit Housing Is Key or call 1-833-430-2122.
Catholic Charities East Bay is proud to offer Housing Problem Solving, a new program that includes tenant advocacy, mediation, brain storming, relocation with family and other homelessness prevention strategies to keep families in their homes. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist people experiencing homelessness. If you are currently homeless in Alameda County, please call 211 or 1-800-273-6222 to be connected to resources in our community.
