Application Process
How can I apply for housing at this development?
- Applications for the initial lottery were accepted through Doorway Rent affordable housing - Doorway Housing Portal and closed as of March 6, 2025. Lottery results were finalized on March 27, 2025. If you missed the original lottery round, the Doorway listing will be updated and we will be accepting applications to be added to the waitlist on May 1, 2025. We expect that we may have some availability after processing the initial lottery applicants, so you may still have an opportunity for housing during the initial lease up. You will be asked to submit information such as household size and income, but we require no documentation at this step.
- Beginning May 1, 2025 you can access the Doorway portal by scanning the QR code below or by visiting https://housingbayarea.mtc.ca.gov/
What happens after the lottery?
After the lottery closes, we will work with the qualifying schools and districts to confirm employment status of all applicants. Leasing staff will reach out to qualified applicants in lottery order to begin the application and certification interview process.
What happens in the application and certification interview?
The goal is to identify that each household meets income and eligibility criteria. At the interview, the leasing team will already have confirmed that households are qualified employees of one or more of the participating school districts. The Interview allows our leasing team to determine the income and assets of each household and households to provide supporting documentation and complete certification documents. It is also an opportunity for our applicants to ask questions about the application process, the property, etc. This property is regulated by affordable housing programs that require us to verify all assets and income. You will be provided with the documentation needed to bring with you to this meeting when our leasing team sets up your appointment.
