Section 8 was never intended to be a life long solution to your financial planning or lack of!!!! It's called working to pay your bills not hand outs

They have no concept of “working to pay your way”. They actually believe all the hype of reparations and handouts due to them. They are just livid the dream and leaving a nightmare for anyone in their Beamer driving, wig flinging, fake nails butt wiping, loud obnoxious life sucking leeches.💯💯💯💯

[@Qofb7636]

I'm conflicted on this. A lot of folks on section 8 allow there bad grand children, and drug dealing family member to move in with them and that lowers the quality of life for everyone. Folks whom are (working) everyday tend to not be the issue in these complexes. It's actually the people who stay home all day and stay up all night. Also, I think section 8 should be used to help a person for no more than 12 months. After that, they need to pay the regular amount of rent like everyone else. I lived in a complex with section 8 folks before and it was horrible. They stayed up all night because nobody's going to work and the elderly people had several Children in the apartments with them who hung out all night as well. Not taking section 8 is a way to improve security and quality of life. It may seem harsh but it's necessary sometimes if you want to clean up a community.

[@Whaley96]

You sure it's not the low quality of education? And no social programs and the decades of red lining and putting a bunch of people that are desperate in a socioeconomic situation all in the same place. This is what happens when people don't see another way out of their situation, they see their brothers, sisters, mother's, and father's do what they can and it's all they see and know. So how do you break that cycle is the question that needs to be answered.

[@Qofb7636]

@@Whaley96 To be honest with you, I absolutely don't have the answers but I do have an experience to share. Part of what you're saying might provide a resolution. Mixed income communities attempted to address this exact issue you're speaking about. Eastlake Meadows here in Atlanta GA is a perfect example of how to make this work. Unfortunately in the late 90's everyone was evicted from Eastlake Meadows to make room for a new and improved Eastlake Meadows that have both section 8 and non section 8 folks who thrive there. You can't move there on section 8 and move in a bunch of other people because the regularly perform inspections on each section 8 apartment or town home. Out of 300 units only about 35 are section 8. The quality of life is great in that area and they even built a Publix grocery store across the street. This story had 67 (families) on section 8 out of 370 units. So most of be the people who be live there are not on section 8🤷🏿. So this would be a complex that tried the mixed income community and it didn't work at this property.

And she drilled into all her girls to work even if they didn't have to, so they could have their own money. She would always sit her grands and great grands down and talk about work and education.

There are people that are disabled and can't work. The Section 8 helps them live in an apartment. And some do get disability benefits . Mostly around $800 a month. Not counting to take out Part B Say $200 taken away. Now they only have $600 a month. Now will you pay the rent or starve? Section 8 let's the tenants pay something around $200. HUD is suppose to pay the difference on area rent. This makes tenants pay $200. The rest can be used for food and clothing in a place like Goodwill.

Notice of non-renewal isn't the same as eviction. How long does one stay on section 8? The program isn't designed for you to stay on it into retirement/old age. The program is designed for you to get out of it by buying with your voucher (of course, some may not be able to buy without proper preparation). At some point, if your finances won't allow you to do so, then it's time to do something about increasing your skills, job prospects and earning so you can save. Each time these stories pop up in the news, I always wonder what people have and haven't been doing to change their situation.

She wanted to know why I wanted to leave my apartment. She had been living in apartments for decades at that time. She tried to talk me out of buying a house, giving reasons like if I continued apartment living I could just call maintenance when something broke. She literally couldn't understand Pride of ownership, freedom to live as I want, ability to change and customize as I saw fit. I was so stunned, I started to distance myself from her.

No one should be forced to explain why they make a decision with their property. It's the owner's property, period. If they want to evict everyone and bulldoze it, that's their business. * I can tell you why I don't participate in Section 8: 1) It's a bureaucratic nightmare. 2) The rents are often below what market rate tenants will pay. 3) Section 8 inspections sometimes find frivolous reasons to stop paying their portion of the rent. 4) Sec 8 doesn't cover damages done to the property. 5) Sec 8 doesn't cover any legal costs to evict a tenant who stops paying their portion of the rent. 6) Any time the Govt has a fiscal shut down, they stop paying rent and the payments don't resume for weeks. Even when received, they don't include any late fees, so the landlords are stuck floating the tenants a loan for the indefinite future. 7) Sec 8 lease trumps my lease in ways that are disadvantageous to me. 8) They demand year leases and sometimes I prefer month to month. *
