NEW
PROGRAM
ALAMEDA COUNTY
Foreclosure Prevention Program for Property Owners
The new program, approved by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in August 2023, is the Alameda County Foreclosure Prevention Program for Small, Low-Income Property Owners (“FPP” or the “Program”).
ATTENTION: The application deadline for FPP closed on 3/31/2024 . The program is not accepting applications at this time.
About FPP
FPP seeks to ensure that affected property owners retain ownership of their rental property, thereby decreasing the likelihood of displacement of residential tenants, particularly lower income tenants who have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
FPP has provided financial assistance to eligible small, low-income property owners, who are at risk of foreclosure, or are in foreclosure, as a result of nonpayment of rents during the COVID-19 pandemic and during the period of the Alameda County Eviction Moratorium, which ended on April 29, 2023.
Applications for Phase II are currently being reviewed. If you submitted an application for Phase II a case manager will be in touch with you to collect any missing documents.
Phase II will provide grants up to 75k to eligible property owners who were impacted due to non-rent payments and used savings to keep their properties current or had a mortgage delinquency, notice of default or notice of sale during that time and were able to bring it current.

Dear A1 Housing Team,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the invaluable assistance provided by Mariana Herrera and Betsy Hernandez and the entire team at A-1 CHS for the Alameda County Foreclosure Prevention Program. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in preventing my family from facing the dire prospect of homelessness and ensuring that we could retain our safe home.
When we initially reached out to your program, we were overwhelmed and uncertain about our future. The threat of foreclosure loomed large, casting a shadow of uncertainty over our lives. However, from the moment we connected with Mariana Herrera, we were met with compassion, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping families like ours navigate through challenging times.
Mariana Herrera guidance as an FPP Eligibility Specialist, coupled with your dedicated support as our Case Manager, provided us with a lifeline during our darkest hour. Your expertise and proactive approach not only helped us understand the complexities of the foreclosure process but also empowered us to take decisive action to protect our home.
Thanks to your timely intervention, we were able to explore viable alternatives, negotiate with lenders, and ultimately secure a solution that allowed us to remain in our home. Your relentless advocacy on our behalf went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Beyond the tangible assistance provided, your kindness, empathy, and genuine concern for our well- being were a source of comfort and reassurance throughout this ordeal. Knowing that we had a dedicated team of professionals standing by our side gave us the strength and resilience to face each challenge head-on.
As we reflect on this journey, we are filled with profound gratitude for the impact you have had on our lives. Your selfless dedication to serving the community and preventing families from experiencing the devastation of foreclosure is a testament to your unwavering commitment to making a difference.
Please accept this letter as a token of our heartfelt appreciation for everything you have done for us. Your compassion, expertise, and support have not only preserved our home but also restored our hope for a brighter future. We are forever indebted to you and the Alameda County Foreclosure Prevention Program for your invaluable assistance.
