Eden I&R has revolutionized the way Alameda County service providers can find affordable housing for their clients. If you are an Alameda County service provider that needs regular access to information on available affordable housing, the Online Housing Project may be your answer.

As the source for information and referral to affordable housing in the County, Eden I&R Resource Specialists use our database to serve clients through our roving programs and our many phone lines. This same information has also been available to service providers via a paper subscription. The Online Housing Information Project (OHIP) makes information from our database of over 54,000 affordable housing units accessible over the Internet.

OHIP is a searchable database that allows users to search by city, building type, number of bedrooms, and accessiblity. Searches can specify various types of subsidized housing, shared housing, Section 8, or vouchers. For each unit found pertinent information such as: monthly rent, term of tenancy, move-in and deposit costs, minimum income requirements, and proximity to public transportation is returned.

Access to OHIP is by subscription only.. Subscriptions are available to Alameda County service providers by contacting Eden I&R's Housing Department. Before starting a subscription agencies must provide a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Subscription prices vary depending on an agency's source of funding and budget (for Community Based Organizations and other nonprofits).

Information in the OHIP database is updated biweekly on the same schedule as our paper subscriptions. Subscribers may conduct as many searches of the database as needed, but must login separately for each client.
