I sat down with the manager of an apt complex who helped me apply and I was on a waiting list. When it came my turn to get an available apt there, my understanding was i was supposed to get Section 8 and an apt. I was told it was sure fire and I had NOTHING to worry about. They would help me with everything. A little over a year later I received a "rejection" letter in the mail stating an apt had come but I was rejected for consideration because my "credit wasn't approved". Why wasn't I told about "credit"? She had to know my story. I DON'T HAVE CREDIT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE ANY CREDIT. And when someone contacted them for me to ask just what happened, it was someone new working there. The new person wanted me to come in so they could formally apologize. What good was that going to do after all this?
Im not sure if its the same in every state BUT here in ILLINOIS, if you make LESS than $2500 a month, then you qualify for SECTION 8 HOUSING aka LOW INCOME HOUSING aka SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. SECTION 8 is not just for people from the.........." ghetto/hood ".
Same here but a section 8 voucher for one person. Under HUD guidleines is good for about $1400.00. Meaning you will be placed in a low income area still. Which I don't see as being helpful to someone at all. You go here to see how much a section 8 voucher is good for in your area for a given family size. www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/FY2020_code/select_Geography.odn

....and here is Shawanda...she has four kids ages 1, 3, 12 and 13 with different fathers, all of whom are nowhere to be found. Shawanda doesn't work but she has a new boyfriend, Trayvon who sleeps there. Since Shawanda does not have any income and four kids, she qualifies for the rent voucher program. She uses her voucher to move out of the city and rent a small two bedroom condo in a most White subdivision in the suburbs. Since she has moved into the condo, Shawanda has received several violation letters from the subdivision HOA for violations of rules and upkeep on her place. She responded to the Board Members that, "you motherfuckers can go to Hell, dis aint my place, I dont own it so why should I take care of it." There is currently a broken down 1998 Toyota Corolla with two flat tires in her parking spot which belonged to baby daddy #3. The 12 and 13 year olds have been seen on Ring videos at 3am walking around the subdivision pulling on the handles of car doors. Auto burglaries have increased 70% since Shawanda moved into the subdivision with her voucher and Trayvon is in the process of developing a healthy drug sale business out of Shawanda's condo. Oh, and Shawanda is currently pregnant with Trayvon's baby.

This is why I have a lack of respect for anyone that judges these programs because we have real heroes (moms holding it together for their babies) anyone who attacks and puts down women and children should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm imagining that since your children are grown you were able to buy a house when they were much much much and let me say this one more time..much more cheaper than they are now...so was the cost of living...and I can bet this was not in New York where I'm at...have a little common sense...not everyone reading this is from your area or your time...congrats to you..take care Ms. Doitall
This is a good program just like food stamps but like all things people take advantage should be required to do volunteer work since they can't find a job
Half of all voucher holders are seniors/disabled and another quarter work. Only a quarter actually stay at home, and often that's with kids. There are reasons people can't do volunteer work -- starting with not being able to get childcare or elder care, or transportation, same things that make holding a job challenging. Yes, getting a housing subsidy is like hitting the lottery, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution for the folks who luck out.
Douglas Rush I’m in school full time for nursing. My ex husband left me up shits creek without a paddle.

I don’t think that I feel that way bc this program is not my permanent plan for a home.
dick Dressler now come try to be a little sensible and sensitive section 8 does not equate to low life, be careful what you speak concerning others, you just might need to apply for section 8 one day, hardship is no respect of person, you could be next on the list, I'm a nurse and was injured on the job and with a decrease in income i'm eligible for section 8, i need it now, so please be mindful of how you label individuals that have section 8, i pray for you to have a healthy life

very judgmental statement. many sect 8 voucher holders are respectful disabled individuals
@@jdawgmiami yeah right
You own mansions so section 8 is not interested in your luxury homes.
Shiiid you'll be waiting forever!
It sounds hard but am I the only person looking at this video like just do it yourself get up and be smart with your money and pay for your house
Hmm, if you were in a persons shoes who couldn't get those things no matter how hard you tried. Then you'd have a different tune.
As a landlord, never rent to these people. Just isn't worth it.
U must be those who want their rent on time but when things tear the fuck up u don't do timely repair s
@Debra Meyers he doesnt speak for everyone
lol not all of them are dirtbags
@@eugeneallison717 You must be one of those who tear it up.
@@jdawgmiami Life is easier if you just avoid altogether.
I'm so glad that the people aren't renting to Section 8 anymore go back to the projects you're more projects for these low-lifes
dick Dressler now come try to be a little sensible and sensitive section 8 does not equate to low life, be careful what you speak concerning others, you just might need to apply for section 8 one day, hardship is no respect of person, you could be next on the list, I'm a nurse and was injured on the job and with a decrease in income i'm eligible for section 8, i need it now, so please be mindful of how you label individuals that have section 8, i pray for you to have a healthy life
it's good to know there are still good people like you in the world. I'm sure you live a very rewarding and happy life...it totally shows.
young judging by the section 8 house across the street from me you'd have a hard time proving that... nothing but drug addicts/dealers and criminals since the house been section 8
@Debra Meyers until somebody decent moves in the house across the street from me and proves me wrong, yes
@Debra Meyers how that saying goes about those who protest too much... I don't want you living near me either... I didn't pay 180 grand for my house for some muthafuckas to move in across the street for FREE... I bought a house to get away from that
this is a joke...no t funny,
Here today...gone. ..tomorrow... we e flat broke in America ...sob ...
New life soon. 4me
Do I qualify for section 8
