Program Integrity

AC Boost was created to provide working households an opportunity to purchase a home to live in, who otherwise are not able to purchase in Alameda County. In order to uphold the integrity of the program and ensure that households that receive program funds are using taxpayer dollars as intended, AC Boost participants will be required to provide documentation that they are occupying the property and maintaining the proper insurance annually. Hello Housing will be reaching out each year with instructions on how to provide this documentation. We thank you in advance for your timely response to our requests and helping us to maintain a successful program.
