This is the best section 8 story I have ever heard. Thank goodness she’s open minded enough for the move and change of scenery. I would have made the same decision if I were in her shoes. 🌷
Wait til y'all find out about Alaska.This isn't new at all, it's just that too many of *us* are either afraid to leave what they know or aren't being told that you can go anywhere the US holds territory with a voucher.One of my aunts used the program to relocate to another country.Just research who has an open housing program,have a viable skill that shows you're willing to work instead of live off their government & be open to go wherever the need is greater.It's not that you can transfer out of the country, they just help/allow people with limited income to relocate for either very low cost or free as long as you're moving to better yourself/can help them improve their economy.
Section 8 is a great tool to get back on your feet. I used the money I saved on rent to get reliable transportation, work clothes, etc. As things improve, you contribute more and more to your rent until you no longer need assistance. I've been at my current job 28 years and able to give back to the community. It was a lifesaver back then for me and my daughter, who now owns a successful business. We're not all bad people.
@kinikia Needing help doesn't make anyone a bad person. There will always be people abusing the system whether they are rich or poor. Look at all the opportunites the rich take and people turn a blind eye. It seems that when the system is used for what it is intended for, Nay sayers have to condemn them. I am happy for you. Your story gives hope for successful futures.
She was able to cut the line and qualified for a lovely apartment before local people waiting for months. We resent her for it. Nothing to do with race or financial status. But the system was played and no one in Hawaii is happy about it. I guarantee that.
@@fattymoko Wrong !!! You better do research and learn the "Housing Ropes" everyone I knew who was on a waitlist never waited over 1 year. Yall just apply and wait for a call like robots lol instead of really knowing how the shit works. Slow feet don't eat and closed mouths don't get fed.
@@fattymoko i certainly understand that. I live in a safe haven city and we received at least a thousand immigrants. The news quoted 700 which means its probably double that amount. We have a city riddled with homelessness due to overpriced rent and other issues, unemployment and underemployment for natives. But I don't blame the outsiders for taking advantage of the opportunity for better living. I blame my b.s city for their political moves. I don't have section 8 but if I did I'd use it to its full advantage.
Exactly. Though in some areas, the law says they have to accept the voucher. But guess what. If they don't want to rent to you, all they have to say is that the place has already been spoken for.
I read somewhere that congress is trying to change the laws to make it to where all communities would have to accept vouchers because it is a form of income…
@@mariemiller456 She saved and we had a whole entire 3 years before they were relocating us. They were supposed to pay to move her. They didn't she paid to get herself there.
This lady is amazing. She made the very best out of a seemingly difficult situation. Being displaced can interrupt one's life. But nope. Not her's. She is clearly an agent of change. May GOD continue to bless her. We can all agree.
@@ameliaweights This is not true. I know plenty of taxpayers who visit Hawaii and they are regular people. She did exactly what no one else thought of and succeeded. Most people in her situation would have waited on the government to house them. She didn't. She accepted change and took opportunity that was given her and made the situation work for her. The money is already there. Why not move in a positive direction?
@@annettehall1569 Moving in a positive direction would be HER supporting herself (instead of being supported by taxpayers) and getting out of section 8 housing.
@AlwaysArrow I watched this video a year ago. I always wondered if you were still in Hawaii. I'm glad I found this comment. What a blessing that you were able to find a new place in Hawaii. Glad you have been enjoying life on the Island. Hawaii is such a beautiful place.
@@cocofellas lol right, but it's Hawaii come on. Agreed 💯 but I've heard as long as you stay away from the tourist areas It's not as pricey. Either way she's saving on rent🤷 lol
She won the lottery all right. The, taxpayers will pay for my great apt in a lovely place, while I do nothing lottery. Meanwhile taxpayers are broke because we have to support all the social programs
I'm so happy for her! She has a place where she can feel free and have peace and just live. I wish her all the best and pray God continues to bless her!
Congratulations to her! I went through a divorce in 2004 and got on the list for section 8 here in San Diego county. My wait was short compared to the average wait list. I finally received assistance in 2009. I didn’t keep it long. I am no longer receiving the assistance because I am OK financially now. There are so many people that need help… I’m happy for her.🙌
@@일개미-e1i it was definitely a challenge after letting it go. The same year I stopped receiving the help, I got laid off. My part-time gig ended as well. The owner of the company took all the money and ran off 🤦🏽♀️ A few years later, I got breast cancer and couldn’t work… There were plenty of times that I wished that I still had it but The Creator made a way for me🙏🏾 I’m still in the same place, but newly engaged and planning on moving by the end of this year. But trust me… There have been plenty of times that I wished that I had that help😬
The fact that the wait list is so long is a major bureaucratic problem. I live in DC and it’s filled with unused , empty apartments that could be fulfilled with waitlist candidates.
@@jalia581 let me be clear, I’m talking about newly built, mid-rise apartments, fresh and ready. We’re currently overdeveloping, and because rents are too expensive for many, alot of these apartment buildings are 60% occupied at the highest.
I didn't know you can use section 8 vouchers across state lines. It pays to know your options & rights. She clearly put some thought into her decision. I wish her & her family prosperity
Although this could be seen as a blessing for her, it’s important to remember the indigenous Hawaiians who can no longer afford or get housing due to many mainlanders moving to the islands and that’s a real shame.
@07rumsfelt46, You make a point. I believe that is what many other Americans are saying about the current climate of the States/Mainland "Keep in mind how relocation and implants of people is impacting the community/people/citizens". Because Hawaii has been exploited and marketed as a Paradise on earth, this has led to tourism driving up the cost of living and making daily survival near impossible. Fret not over this one story of relocation. This person does not pose the same risk as former, current, and future developers. Keep fighting for housing and social services that all human beings need to function and prosper in a capitalistic society.
@@atiyarise4131 or Mark Zuckerberg who bought up an entire ancestral piece of land there creating a huge rift with the natives who lived on that land for centuries. So many big investors go there and they buy huge chunks of real estate and this pushes more and more people into a state of homelessness. Just watched documentary few months ago. Many natives living in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent. It's so sad 😞
Right…the indigenous can barely afford to live on their own land! Yes, we are all American citizens but it’s a shame what colonization and tourism has done. A blessing AND a curse!
To all of you making racist, stereotypical, snide remarks who do not know this lady's situation, read my earlier comment below on why I am 100% disabled and still have to pay that 30% Section 8 requirement. Oh, and I am white. I have worked ALL my life, paid into Social Security which I now have to pay for again, and wish I COULD work again rather than live with my medical diagnoses. Don't even bother to comment unless you know 100% why someone has been approved for Section 8.
Exactly! I often get in the comments to educate the ignorant ppl. So many ppl on the program have a reason to be. Most of the ppl making rude comments qualify 🤦🏾♀️ It depends on the county and city. Each HA has its own qualifications and criteria list. That’s because it’s based off the area. With inflation going up, most ppl qualify anyway. They tend to confuse section 8 with Luther programs. I know many county and state workers on it. Ppl who have disabilities as well. Not everyone that’s on section 8 wants to be. Some ppl use the program to elevate themselves. We all know how these companies will pay u pennys and expect you to be ok. Let’s be honest! Everyone on it is not lazy. Most are working and tryna make a living 🤷🏾♀️ just like you 🫵🏾
@@naye5178 That means they are qualified. Yes, people do cheat on the sly, but you are implying that it is black people who cheat the most. 1. There is no way to verify your claim. 2. White people cheat as well. 3. Any color in between cheats too. 4. Some cheaters do not represent the whole. You are straight up being racist.
This is vital information. Especially single parents and domestic violence victims. I wish I had known this years ago when I struggled to pay rent and bills plus the cost of daycare for babies without getting any child support.
Single part hood is a choice tired of these women thinking they should get sympathy because they have babies with broke men that can’t afford children and depend on government instead of the broke men they have children with then you do it again and again when you can’t take care of yourself or one kid and I am are tired of tax dollars paying for baby mama to live of section 8 link cards whatever it now domestic violence you can get out of but some women stay and don’t get to know the men they date then want people to feel empathy when they should stop picking bums that are violent
You can only control yourself not anyone else. I am pretty sure no one goes into a relationship saying yea I wanna be a single mom or dad. Stuff happens every situation is different
Yes I was single mom with 4 kids and tried for assistance but seems like they didn't help they thought I should have had family or help from other people. I Def felt discrimination and saw it clearly when I went to appointments. I had less money and more kids and jumped through so many hoops and got nothing and was homeless for short time and found church to help a little bit 🙏. I had to figure out on own how to work and take care of small kids with no help. I manage to turn life around completely but still have never had child support or help in any way. It seems there are different standards and help for people who they see different than minority groups. I hope things are better for everyone and children don't have to suffer. I see why people are mad when a non citizen can get help and more than someone who's family has been here since beginning. Then pay taxes for these peoples help when you're struggling is slap in face.
The reason why I complemented her is because she likely has a disability. It is quite sad that people like some on this thread think disabled people should live in squalor.
Wow I'm a disabled Veteran and I can never get help like this he'll I paid my dues and served my country just to let someone like this get a free ride ( not saying she doesn't deserve it but dam what about us Veterans who served?
“Someone like this”…God put her here just like you and he don’t care that you served, her life and well being is just as important as yours and anybody else walking this earth. It’s great that you think you know this woman’s struggle just from a news clip but I’m sure you wouldn’t trade places with her in a million years. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be a woman who is black who is financially challenged. Instead of being jealous, be happy for her. God blesses those who bless others and have no problem seeing others get blessed. Don’t block your blessing by being salty. Oh, and thank you for serving. I also wanna thank all the others who have served like the Nurses, first responders, law enforcement, teachers, trash collectors, grocery store workers, stay at home Moms, bus drivers, surgeons, daycare workers, janitors, just to name a few. We all have a purpose and we all play a part to make this world go around. Non of us could do it without the sacrifice of others so again, Thank you.
You could have made ur claim about vets without trying to shame her. You don’t know crap about her! She could very well be a vet herself! She could have paid her dues as well and this is well deserved for her! You don’t know!!!! Hell have u even applied for section 8 while ur so bitter about this woman utilizing a service that is available to lower class public???
This is no big deal. I was a section 8 worker. Did you know section 8 pays all the mortgages on these beautiful suburban homes a teacher nor police officer can’t afford to live in? WE OAY THEIR MORTGAGE DONT BE FOOLED BY YOUR NEIGHBORS!!! I’m talking $550,000 homes!!! They will not talk about that… I will
Interesting. So you think there would be a range with a limit based on the area housing cost. What everyone really wants to know is how do you move up the waiting list?? Why is there such a long wait? Why can't Section 8 be restructured, reorganized and actually help people in a timely manner? Is it fair and do they operate with integrity and honesty? Do workers help their own friends and family first, truly, I mean that is human nature. Do you think it is toxic and a new program would be more beneficial? Are there any real solutions? Do they listen to workers ideas when they want to implement new improvements?
@@jancoley9051 no integrity, no honesty, workers are hateful, judge mental, sometimes can add your pay a certain way so you do not qualify for the program, employees rude to some landlords. Some landlords pay the inspection person to pass a home that is not suitable for living according to the section 8 policy. Workers lie about the home buying programs. The it’s all corrupt to help the rich and the employees don’t care. Yes they could move faster. Lazy as hell. They run off staff. Some section 8 programs move fast. Oh and racism against every got dam race.
@@jancoley9051 Could the wait be so long because vouchers are going to people who enter the country illegally? I mean we certainly don’t hear of any millions of illegal aliens living on the streets. Yet millions come and are living somewhere. Did they all come with a means to get their own housing and support themselves? Where are they? How many of them now on homes that are being paid for by these programs?
@@jancoley9051 Theres such a long wait list, because its 80/20, the 20 that really need help cant because the 80% are scamming the system. There are literally generations of people born in the system and wont get out. They are encouraged to get pregnant by their familes to keep it up. This is enabling at its finest, do some research if you dont believe me.
People commenting here in a negative vain should pay attention to the entire video in detail. This woman was living in Philly in an apartment when the housing agency that owns and manages that apartment complex made a decision to redevelop that property and she was FORCED to vacate. This was NOT HER CHOICE. So she decided that if she had to give up her home through NO FAULT OF HER OWN she would take that lemon and make lemonade. This sort of thing happens more frequently than people understand. Quite often when this happens individuals and families can end up permanently displaced or in a homeless shelter. We should all be happy for her and quite frankly I am proud of her. She took a bad situation and turned it into an improvement in her own personal circumstances...Bravo and well done... Stay blessed smart lady.
@@kbess999 The nay sayers don't know. They keep calling Hawaiians indigenous people when they're US citizens. I'm laughing my head off. Their vibe is so negative. They'll never manifest good things if they keep this up.
@@annettehall1569 I can't believe they did a story on this, people have always used ' Porting' option section 8 offers. You just researched your options. No laws broken. I was selected for section 8 but I had too much income, I took the time to learn what I was getting into before the process. Enjoy the beautiful wild life, fresh air and all the pineapples you can eat😊.
Thank You this is Timekia Palmer People don't know I'm disabled I left all my family I miss so much but this is a blessing God has given me and a dream of mine from my childhood. I appreciate you for seeing my heart and sharing yours May God continue to bless your Journey Amen
I'm on section 8... in a low income... I was on the waiting list for about 90 days... I'm in Ohio and never knew I could transfer to a whole other state now I do know other single moms who haved moved to other towns.. but glad this all worked out for her bet that was a much needed change and I am super happy for her!
@@itzcryssie2732 your situation hasn’t changed in 7 yrs? That’s a long time. Have you heard of WIOA? It’s a program that can pay for you to learn a new skill so you can find a higher paying job.
@@opulence_prime Just bc she’s been on it for 7 years doesn’t mean her wages haven’t increased slowly. I have a friend who was in the program for longer than that but she’s now college educated. First she was a drug and alcohol counselor now she’s a youth counselor and providing very well for her 2 boys. One is on his way to college and she’s bought a home. Some of the section 8 recipients will hustle and then come out earning more than others. Never look down on anyone. Peace and blessings to u💛✨✨
I worked for Section 8 and I once had the voucher. It’s a blessing to get back in your feet. Best thing I did was give myself a timeframe to get off it and I also finished school.
Don't hate the player hate the game. She did what she has to do. I'll never look down on those less off and commend anyone in those situations for doing their research. Even through it's government subsidized you still need a willing landlord to get it. So yes it's a government hand out but it's also income for those willing to lease their homes to those in need. I think if people knew they could move around the country it would actually be better for everyone. If you're in a place where work is hard to find and you can move to a city with a better opportunity, go for it. On the other hand if you're tired of the city life and want place and quite for your family and a smaller town would suit you, you should be able to do so.
Its a "game" we all pay for. There are many that need the help, but there are many that scam the system too. Thats why homelessness will never get solved. People refuse to work, or drugs etc.. This lady is living near an oceanside view now. Who decideds who is deserving and who is not is the question.
That's true, but in reality it's not her fault. It's their local government and how they run their program. I mean why would she turn it down? Nobody I know would decline it. Can't blame her for saying yes, gotta blame the system in Hawaii for doing it
WOW...many people work all of their lives and never get this opportunity. Maybe this will motivate her to get on her feet and get off section 8 and live her life free of the government.
@@Sleepy__Joe__ no. Apply at every one of them you can find that you'd be able to live for a year because after the first year you can move ANYWHERE they have Section 8.
And I probably shouldn't bring it up but some folks have moved to HAs that have Homeowners Programs where you can use your voucher to buy a house. Don't shoot the messenger Folks! They have other programs that help folks buy homes with or without a voucher. They aren't Satan. They are a blessing.
@@DP-ih6nt yes the landlord has to keep the unit up to min Government standards. The government wants clean decent housing. True slum lords units don't qualify as clean decent inhabitable units so the slum lord refuses the section 8 because they would be heald to account and forced to supply a clean livable unit.
@@screenarts That’s true! I am about to get rid of mine housing because I have a slum lord. Section 8 went on and approved my unit and this place has hella roaches.
As someone who has lived in Honolulu it's sad to see yet another example of people from the Mainland taking adequate housing from the indigenous population. Some of them are homeless living in cars or the streets while having jobs all because they can't afford housing. Hawaii needs to do better at taking care of it's own residents before taking care of people from the mainland!
No one in Hawaii (including me) used her financial, race or any other reason to feel prejudice towards her. But one. All of the locals who have left comments on a local news website stated that we resent very very much that she was able to cut the line. Locals are waiting for affordable housing and locals were put behind her. She qualified instantly for her apartment. Now that feels like prejudice to us.
It's totally fucked up, there's hundreds/thousands of people born and raised in Hawaii that are living out of their cars while this lady jumped the line and gets a $2000/month two bedrooms paid for by the Honolulu gov.
@@alexanderorr2528 Are you pissed at the Ukrainians in the US too? And all the people who cane from the southern border? And the Afghans who were flown over?
@@leslieenoch No because they work very hard and often own their own small businesses instead of living in a 2 bedroom beachfront property paid for by middle class people who work full-time and can't even afford a vacation to Honolulu these days. Additionally they are fleeing warzones after putting their lives on the line to help us.
@@alexanderorr2528 how do you know that the case for every single one of them. Based on your logic they've jumped the line in front of millions of American citizens who were born there and paid taxes.
This is happening a lot in California. People are being relocated here for similar reasons. They are not cutting the line, they already waited their turn, and have their voucher. She probably went to Hawaii because she couldn’t find housing in Philly and wanted to go somewhere where the winter is milder, in case she ended up on the street. I’ve got people coming in with vouchers from colder states where I work who are having the same issue and came to Cali because they didn’t want to freeze in their state because housing wasn’t available
@@nenep1872 I get that. Usually families are prioritized over single persons. Which means in Philly she waited a cool second before she even got that voucher.
@@nenep1872 Slow down on the baby-making, then you'll probably wouldn't need as much help!! Birth control would help you a lot more than section 8...Just sayin' 🤷♂🤷♂
I live in California and I am a now a homeowner. When my children were little my husband and I applied for section 8 and there was a 10 year waiting list. After doing research we found out that most if not all units or housing allowed participants to live in the residences for up to 10 years. I believe because of this it makes it difficult for families that really need housing to obtain it. Thank God we are now homeowners. The apartment complex close to where we live is run by section 8 not only are these apartments 1 to 4 bedrooms the county has completely redone them and section 8 participants paid between $50-$200 a month to live there. But the concern I have is when you look at the carports why in the heck are they driving brand new vehicles? Hi I truly believe that if you’re in section 8 you should be given a minimum of 1 to 5 years to get things together, move on and give other families the opportunity to utilize the program.
Ah so getting a new reliable car while you can afford it is not allowed? My mother was on section 8 when I was young and I got myself car that had 38 miles on it. It was new. It's been years and I still drive that car. It took me years to even save the money to get it. Being poor doesn't mean you can never have anything nice or reliable. EDITED TO ADD: This was not a super expensive car. It was "the dealer's test car" which is why it had 38miles on it and was sold as used. And because I was a working, my income was counted and I had to pay a portion of the rent as well. When my mom had section 8 that was a requirement, everyone in the house over 18 needed proof of income, so when I got older, I paid too. Eventually things got better and we no longer qualified.
How do you know how much they pay for rent? Do you know how Section 8 vouchers work?? YOUR RENT AMOUNT IS BASED ON YOUR INCOME... and a lot of other factors like if it's an apartment, house, or a townhouse, if it's gas or electric, if you pay water sewer and garbage...ect... And if you don't have income then you pay $0. And your comment about what type of car someone has is just completely IGNORANT! Someone on Section 8 can most definitely have a nice car if they work and budget their money good enough!
What do a Car have to do with anything? If no one judged you for actually having a husband! And still had to apply for section 8. With 2 capable people! I think think what they are driving is the issue
@@justinenicole3926 first of all it’s not about getting a car it about getting a used reliable car. No one on section 8 should be driving around in a $30-$40,000 vehicle much less a $20,000 vehicle, especially if you classify your self as being poor. If you could pay a vehicle then you could pay rent without assistance. Anyone that is receiving public assistance or living in public housing should be saving money. That means driving a used vehicle or using public transportation then so be it. Because at the end of the day it’s people like my husband and myself and other hard-working people that are paying.
She really worked the program. Happy for her. Had a friend wait for years to find an eligible section eight apartment. FYI, she’s an educated preschool teacher who works full time. Just not enough income for rents here.
Yea, she worked the system alright. Good people working multiple jobs to put food on the table for their children and a roof over their heads and paying taxes so this piece of shit can move to Hawaii?
@@DivineMotherGoddess888 Thank you she was smart. I would just be concerned if a volcano would erupt and I would have to relocate again. No one knows when the next volcano will erupt.
@MsArtistwannabe, "Worked the system". It's the other way around.The system worked her. She's college educated, employed as an educator, and lives at or below the poverty level and qualifies for assistance. You must be thinking Hawaii is all paradise. Wrong. Social issues and poverty just like anywhere else.
What about the locals in Hawaii that have been waiting …… It’s ridiculous that places like Philly can dump their problems on others to pay for….. All organized and so convoluted all by unelected individuals.
She was already in the system so it was easy to make that transition and if all of the states were like Hawaii and take over the vouchers it will make it easy to have open spots for the rest of the family in need
@@hmmmm.3899 Lmao no you wont, It isnt yours or anyone elses island, that lady and people like her arent going anywhere off Americas island! If you dont like it, you leave!

Well, how much time do you have for me to tell you about the slumlords I've dealt with that are getting filthy rich off places most wouldn't house animals in and no one gives a damn about the kids getting RSV from these nasty places that are moldy, wet, cold and fire traps, eh? Why not get pissed off at those folks instead of the poor folks who have no option but to live in them? Or let's talk about the agencies themselves, shall we? I know of an Executive Director of a HA who once dogged her residents and made people homeless for little or no reason and lo and behold! She was busted at her home in a neighboring county selling weed and I'm talking weight! Or why are these agencies given the option to have Family Self Sufficiency programs or not? That is the way a lot of families have managed to get off Section 8 but some are not forced to have them, they allow them to close down FSS programs. It is not a party to be poor, old or disabled, Folks! It really isn't! If you're really ill, do you actually have the ability to run all over creation to apply, recert, etc? It ain't a party, Fam!
Ok what about disabled veterans and disabled civilians not everyone can work there are people who can't work and cannot afford $3000 a month just for rent thanks to Biden everything is messed up it's more expensive to all citizens both middle working class and the poor smh off remember even the poor is on a waiting list They should transition people who have kids to to more help with child care while they work extra hours and go to school online to get a degree that children would be fed and keeping up with their school work while their parents better themselves so after 3 the 5 years they can "graduate" from low income housing to regular housing and a proper education for those who don't have one This can become a cycle of a type of "temporary housing program" and it can bring in the applicants who has been waiting so long on the list to come in and receive Temporary housing too until their time is up in 3-5 years
It is so important to feel free enough to live where you feel you truly belong. This will change her mindset and give her and her family a wonderful life. Moving in general is usually refreshing.
Not sure if she'll feel like she belongs in Hawaii, that remains to be seen. Plus, pissed off locals who saw her expose. It was really not well thought out on her end, but hey, she took one for the team.
@@angstvision7108 Well, I'm an overthinker and an overplanner. I admire a bold move like that. She will be living in a place she chooses and not chose for her. I think that moves like this can get you out of survival mode.

This is pathetic! Revise the system and process. There shouldn't be a wait list of that magnitude. All of these empty lots and buildings around Philadelphia that can be renovated and house alot of people. The wait list would be eliminated. Glad she decided to leave Philadelphia and has found a peaceful beautiful place to live.
@@GreatTechBuys I understand tax dollars contribute but don't be so quick to judge. Alot of people are disabled.

Also it depends on the News person how they want to ask and divulge. I watched a You Tube video about the same thing and she told you more about her situation. But she's not planning on staying in a section 8 property because she wants her own house. Do we really know how great that apartment is??? Looks can be deceiving. Hawaii is expensive I get it. My place looks nice outside and inside my apartment but it has issues. I'm not in support of those abusing the system to get something for free. I will say it's harder to get over on them now than back in the day with alot of paperwork being done electronically (harder to alter data). Believe me somedays I joke around and say I wanna quit my job to get what they get bc middle class people suffer.
This is a huge issue in PA. They hang signs in the welfare office with lists of towns they PAY people to move to. When they transplant they just add to the burden of the already stressed welfare system in whatever town they move to.
bingo bcuz they know ppl are desperate for affordable housing and will jump at the chance to leave so that's one less burden for their state and the person with the voucher think their getting ahead but some thing tells me her joy will not last long ...its too good to be true
How you gonna say something so negative after watching this video? If a city in the US has it in their budget then why burden your city by staying there? Go to where the access to resources are to have a better quality of life.
@@opulence_prime because 900 other ppl lived there FIRST and she took a unit that could’ve went to one of those families who’d been waiting for years! It isn’t right!
I wasn't on welfare and PHA didn't move me. so your wrong!~ and God will judge you for trying to judge his child. You Need Prayer. Go back in your welfare office where you saw the signs and get some info so you can help make a difference . God Bless You Good Luck
What there not telling you is the Native samoans of Hawaii are homeless and losing thier homes because rent and land being bought up . While im happy for this women the answer isnt to ship them off Hawaii has there own problems , of your not sure what i mean do some reserch on what the natives of Hawaii are really saying and feeling .
I'm a senior who worked all my life and I'm disgusted by these people living for free when they can work. This living off the government culture needs to stop.Get a job OR 2 like my generation had to......
In the last hour it took you to post your judgemental comment, tell me, what's changed? And yet you're using the rest of your time on earth in disgust over something you have no power over. You are fed up, you say? Go make change happen. I can tell you that you will not be alone. There's plenty of people on here making negative comments, name calling and living in a vortex from Hell. They say misery loves company. Let's see what you can do.
The crazy thing is how adamant people are to stay in the city they were born in. Back when I worked with housing dept. So many people turned down vouchers to move even to the outskirts of their city which makes no sense when it could mean better education for children
Yet said making it a habit living years and years and years off section 8 not meant as an entitlement program for life like welfare yes a blessing it is yet comes to a point where she has to get a job support herself go to a skills center high school diploma
People out here blessing her, tf? Hawaii has all these people waiting for a home, locals and actual natives displaced from their homes and they're out here paying for people to just live it up?! That's a spit in the face for people who actually needed help.
California has a high rate of homelessness. Would ppl be complaining if she relocated to California? Please are just made that she found a nice place to live.
@@Itsalwaysbeenaboutme1844 I can't speak for everyone so I'll just speak for me..She bumped other people that were on the Hawaii list..For me that doesn't seem fair..And I think whoever in the government came up with that idea was definitely in the wrong..

I'm glad they did because I thought those high rises were vacant. I had no idea people were still there. The question I had was why?? Those other towers were knocked down years ago. To me this city really doesn't care that much about the people who live here.
Hawaii isn’t the best place to live for a poor person. The cost of consumer goods and services is higher there. That can significantly impact her quality of life as tax payer funded assistance like “Welfare” doesn’t cover everything. She may end up wishing she had chosen somewhere less expensive with better infrastructure and community services in the lower forty-eight.
Yeah but that seems years down the road and she appears responsible enough to save her money. If life in Hawaii at some point becomes unaffordable, then she can port her voucher back to the lower 48, and reside here
I am so happy for Timekia! Her housing looks immeasurably better than the deplorable housing NYCHA provides in my home state, New York. Obviously, if you're on Section 8, you're not in the best circumstances in life. So, I hope her situation improves so that eventually she can come off Section 8 and live a much better life.
@@UrbanAlchemystic some NYCHA developments are very nice It all depends on which your sent to. The ones that have private landlords look like condos now.
What are the non married women going to do when they shut section 8 down? Government is your HUSBAND. Broken home in the black communities is at a all time high with our women leading the charge
My son suffered a brain injury at work and we have appeals going on for workmen’s comp and social security after being denied for both. Someone please tell me how some people are able to get benefits like this.
With all due respect your comparing apples to oranges. Section 8 is not SSA, or FMLA. With that said, I truly hope your son gets what he is due or you get a lawyer.
I'm pretty sure theres a traumatic brain injury voucher but I'm not sure what the requirements for that are exactly or if it exists all over the US. Please try looking into it
I grew up in Hawaii and I can easily say that this woman has a nice big apartment there in hawaii. How she managed to get an apartment that size is beyond me!
Wait, she's been getting assistance for ten years. As shouldn't that be long enough to go to o college. Or get a better job with as roommate. Anything to become self sufficient. These programs were. Meant for temporary assistance, not a lifetime . Also, everything is more expensive in Hawaii, just decreased her buying power. The problem we with using other people's money is, eventually you run out. If she is disabled, their are still jobs you can do. I worked in pain with 3 herniated discs for 12 years in a physical job. They said Hawaii picked up the tab, no taxpayers did.
I am sorry she lost her apartment in Philly but wow I am happy for her to get a new wonderful experience! All those years in the cold snowy Philadelphia and now going to paradise!
@@imageadvisorsinternational7935 That’s not going to happen. She’s probably unemployable at this point, and any job she would be qualified for wouldn’t afford her to live in Hawaii.
This is how you know the "system" is broken..getting to live "rent free" in a place that is "so expensive" even the indigenous locals can't afford to live there anymore..
There was a news special a few years ago about how Hawaiians can't afford to live in Hawaii and the waiting list is years long leaving people living in Cars. They mentioned this. This person is not only not original in her thinking (its been happening for years) but a jerk.
What the private market makes you earn, the government gives for free, with these types of handouts no wonder close to 40% of people make getting walfare a top priority.
@@sekhmetthe7845 you got black females that ain’t disabled living on the government with 3 kids by broke men that can’t take care of them and instead of making the broke men they have babies with our tax dollars are taking care of welfare queens now what 🤣🤣 she look able to me 😡
Dont be fooled you still have the cost of living to deal with in Hawaii. The Grass is noooooot greener. And local people born here should take priority.
WOW...many people work all of their lives and never get this opportunity. Maybe this will motivate her to get on her feet and get off section 8 and live her life free of the government. Education and job skills...
@@imageadvisorsinternational7935 Doubtful she’ll ever get off the system, why should she, she has no motivation to get off the system, she’s got it made living off the people who worked hard, struggled, and finally made it one there own. 😠
@@imageadvisorsinternational7935 this wasn't a shot at as much as it wasn't a smart financial move for someone not financial secure. Also if she's already been on assistance over decade well. ..
I’m happy for her! The sad part is just got Philly,PA operates this way doesn’t actually mean every HUD in every county/State operates that way because it seems like each one goes by their own set of policies,rules and operating procedures. They also tend to select pick who they “help and who they Don’t!”
This woman is family to the director of the Philly Hud program as well as family to Danielle Harris-Brooks of OPWDD on Long Island. Not only is she and her family all on adrenochrome said woman is autistic, bipolar and prone to episodes of violence. Trust that the Philly HUD director made sure to send her and her mother as far away from him as possible. Her story made the news purely as a signal to the illuminati family that cares for her.
This is the best section 8 story I have ever heard. Thank goodness she’s open minded enough for the move and change of scenery. I would have made the same decision if I were in her shoes. 🌷
Amen!!
Yes it is ❤️
@@anitamarie1012 go for it. Really.
Wait til y'all find out about Alaska.This isn't new at all, it's just that too many of *us* are either afraid to leave what they know or aren't being told that you can go anywhere the US holds territory with a voucher.One of my aunts used the program to relocate to another country.Just research who has an open housing program,have a viable skill that shows you're willing to work instead of live off their government & be open to go wherever the need is greater.It's not that you can transfer out of the country, they just help/allow people with limited income to relocate for either very low cost or free as long as you're moving to better yourself/can help them improve their economy.
@@phoney4387 🤔 Interesting!
Section 8 is a great tool to get back on your feet. I used the money I saved on rent to get reliable transportation, work clothes, etc. As things improve, you contribute more and more to your rent until you no longer need assistance. I've been at my current job 28 years and able to give back to the community. It was a lifesaver back then for me and my daughter, who now owns a successful business. We're not all bad people.
You did it the right way, most people don't do that

@kinikia Needing help doesn't make anyone a bad person. There will always be people abusing the system whether they are rich or poor. Look at all the opportunites the rich take and people turn a blind eye. It seems that when the system is used for what it is intended for, Nay sayers have to condemn them. I am happy for you. Your story gives hope for successful futures.
she was thinking OUT tha box forreal
She was able to cut the line and qualified for a lovely apartment before local people waiting for months. We resent her for it. Nothing to do with race or financial status. But the system was played and no one in Hawaii is happy about it. I guarantee that.
But they tell you when they give the voucher to you can live anywhere you want in the U.S. nothing new people just don't want to do it.
@@fattymoko Wrong !!! You better do research and learn the "Housing Ropes" everyone I knew who was on a waitlist never waited over 1 year. Yall just apply and wait for a call like robots lol instead of really knowing how the shit works. Slow feet don't eat and closed mouths don't get fed.
@@fattymoko Anyone willing to relocate, skips the line. It's a messed up system, but it worked out well for her.
@@fattymoko i certainly understand that. I live in a safe haven city and we received at least a thousand immigrants. The news quoted 700 which means its probably double that amount. We have a city riddled with homelessness due to overpriced rent and other issues, unemployment and underemployment for natives. But I don't blame the outsiders for taking advantage of the opportunity for better living. I blame my b.s city for their political moves. I don't have section 8 but if I did I'd use it to its full advantage.
I’m glad she found something because being homeless is no joke. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. I’m glad she is happy in her new place.
They cause the problem, then pretend to have solution. Idiots never learn
You’re glad she is happily taking voucher housing from a local family in Hawaii and keeping them homeless longer so she can move here?

Great comment.
@@paigeherrin29 Not your place to judge.
Blessings to her!! The sad part is when you have a voucher it's really hard trying to find landlords that accept it.
That’s not on purpose
Exactly. Though in some areas, the law says they have to accept the voucher. But guess what. If they don't want to rent to you, all they have to say is that the place has already been spoken for.
My aunt did section 8 rentals, they make it very difficult for landlords. She had to spend thousands extra.
I read somewhere that congress is trying to change the laws to make it to where all communities would have to accept vouchers because it is a form of income…

Congratulations to her! I went through a divorce in 2004 and got on the list for section 8 here in San Diego county. My wait was short compared to the average wait list. I finally received assistance in 2009. I didn’t keep it long. I am no longer receiving the assistance because I am OK financially now. There are so many people that need help… I’m happy for her.🙌
You had an exit strategy...SMART COOKIE!

Amen!!!
@07rumsfelt46, You make a point. I believe that is what many other Americans are saying about the current climate of the States/Mainland "Keep in mind how relocation and implants of people is impacting the community/people/citizens". Because Hawaii has been exploited and marketed as a Paradise on earth, this has led to tourism driving up the cost of living and making daily survival near impossible. Fret not over this one story of relocation. This person does not pose the same risk as former, current, and future developers. Keep fighting for housing and social services that all human beings need to function and prosper in a capitalistic society.
@@atiyarise4131 or Mark Zuckerberg who bought up an entire ancestral piece of land there creating a huge rift with the natives who lived on that land for centuries.
So many big investors go there and they buy huge chunks of real estate and this pushes more and more people into a state of homelessness. Just watched documentary few months ago. Many natives living in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent. It's so sad 😞
It's all the United States, so it really doesn't matter. She's American, and Hawaii is a part of America.

Don't even bother to comment unless you know 100% why someone has been approved for Section 8.
Exactly! I often get in the comments to educate the ignorant ppl. So many ppl on the program have a reason to be. Most of the ppl making rude comments qualify 🤦🏾♀️ It depends on the county and city. Each HA has its own qualifications and criteria list. That’s because it’s based off the area. With inflation going up, most ppl qualify anyway. They tend to confuse section 8 with Luther programs. I know many county and state workers on it. Ppl who have disabilities as well. Not everyone that’s on section 8 wants to be. Some ppl use the program to elevate themselves. We all know how these companies will pay u pennys and expect you to be ok. Let’s be honest! Everyone on it is not lazy. Most are working and tryna make a living 🤷🏾♀️ just like you 🫵🏾

This is vital information. Especially single parents and domestic violence victims. I wish I had known this years ago when I struggled to pay rent and bills plus the cost of daycare for babies without getting any child support.
Yes but RIGTH now it's a lot discrimination for that
Single part hood is a choice tired of these women thinking they should get sympathy because they have babies with broke men that can’t afford children and depend on government instead of the broke men they have children with then you do it again and again when you can’t take care of yourself or one kid and I am are tired of tax dollars paying for baby mama to live of section 8 link cards whatever it now domestic violence you can get out of but some women stay and don’t get to know the men they date then want people to feel empathy when they should stop picking bums that are violent
You can only control yourself not anyone else. I am pretty sure no one goes into a relationship saying yea I wanna be a single mom or dad. Stuff happens every situation is different
Yes I was single mom with 4 kids and tried for assistance but seems like they didn't help they thought I should have had family or help from other people. I Def felt discrimination and saw it clearly when I went to appointments. I had less money and more kids and jumped through so many hoops and got nothing and was homeless for short time and found church to help a little bit 🙏. I had to figure out on own how to work and take care of small kids with no help. I manage to turn life around completely but still have never had child support or help in any way. It seems there are different standards and help for people who they see different than minority groups. I hope things are better for everyone and children don't have to suffer. I see why people are mad when a non citizen can get help and more than someone who's family has been here since beginning. Then pay taxes for these peoples help when you're struggling is slap in face.

People commenting here in a negative vain should pay attention to the entire video in detail. This woman was living in Philly in an apartment when the housing agency that owns and manages that apartment complex made a decision to redevelop that property and she was FORCED to vacate. This was NOT HER CHOICE. So she decided that if she had to give up her home through NO FAULT OF HER OWN she would take that lemon and make lemonade. This sort of thing happens more frequently than people understand. Quite often when this happens individuals and families can end up permanently displaced or in a homeless shelter. We should all be happy for her and quite frankly I am proud of her. She took a bad situation and turned it into an improvement in her own personal circumstances...Bravo and well done...

Some of the section 8 recipients will hustle and then come out earning more than others. Never look down on anyone. Peace and blessings to u💛✨✨
Wow! I was on the wait-list for 7 years and have now been in my own place for 4 months. Section 8 is truly a blessing, I give God the glory everyday
Hopes she enjoys it. I lived on Oahu for 12 years
I was stationed at Schofield Barracks..I miss north shore
Shit I got kicked out of Schofield barracks after been stationed there for 8 years lmfao now I'm stuck in Kansas lmfao
I worked for Section 8 and I once had the voucher. It’s a blessing to get back in your feet. Best thing I did was give myself a timeframe to get off it and I also finished school.
I did as well. I went back to school and became an rn. This was a great boost for my family.
Don't hate the player hate the game. She did what she has to do. I'll never look down on those less off and commend anyone in those situations for doing their research.
Even through it's government subsidized you still need a willing landlord to get it. So yes it's a government hand out but it's also income for those willing to lease their homes to those in need.
I think if people knew they could move around the country it would actually be better for everyone. If you're in a place where work is hard to find and you can move to a city with a better opportunity, go for it. On the other hand if you're tired of the city life and want place and quite for your family and a smaller town would suit you, you should be able to do so.
The only reason landlord's take section 8 is bc it's guaranteed payment with people that normally wouldn't be able to pay on time due to poverty
Possibly you leeching of the government too but if you work your taxes are paying her paradise think about it next time your working like a slave
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾yup
Its a "game" we all pay for. There are many that need the help, but there are many that scam the system too. Thats why homelessness will never get solved. People refuse to work, or drugs etc..

That's true, but in reality it's not her fault. It's their local government and how they run their program. I mean why would she turn it down? Nobody I know would decline it. Can't blame her for saying yes, gotta blame the system in Hawaii for doing it
My Exact thoughts it’s a shame smh
She took a leap of faith beautiful ❤
Should have time limits on section 8! Not a lifelong resident!
WOW...many people work all of their lives and never get this opportunity. Maybe this will motivate her to get on her feet and get off section 8 and live her life free of the government.
Exactly 10 years on tax payers and now she gets to live rent free in Hawaii for another 10 years, I swear you can't this up!
God Bless her. That's a nice place. I can't even get a place and I am disabled.
I had to apply with more than one HA to get a voucher.
@@GrannyRalls but don't you have to be a resident of the place you are trying to get section 8 in?
@@Sleepy__Joe__ no. Apply at every one of them you can find that you'd be able to live for a year because after the first year you can move ANYWHERE they have Section 8.
And I probably shouldn't bring it up but some folks have moved to HAs that have Homeowners Programs where you can use your voucher to buy a house. Don't shoot the messenger Folks! They have other programs that help folks buy homes with or without a voucher. They aren't Satan. They are a blessing.
Apply for section 8 you’d definitely qualify and stretch your fixed income
Good for this woman and her family. A lot of landlords will not accept the vouchers.
And there’s a good reason for that.
@@DP-ih6nt yes the landlord has to keep the unit up to min Government standards. The government wants clean decent housing. True slum lords units don't qualify as clean decent inhabitable units so the slum lord refuses the section 8 because they would be heald to account and forced to supply a clean livable unit.
@@DP-ih6nt Exactly!
@@screenarts That’s true! I am about to get rid of mine housing because I have a slum lord. Section 8 went on and approved my unit and this place has hella roaches.
There's a good reason for it.
As someone who has lived in Honolulu it's sad to see yet another example of people from the Mainland taking adequate housing from the indigenous population. Some of them are homeless living in cars or the streets while having jobs all because they can't afford housing. Hawaii needs to do better at taking care of it's own residents before taking care of people from the mainland!
Lemme guess, you're not Hawaiian.
No one in Hawaii (including me) used her financial, race or any other reason to feel prejudice towards her. But one. All of the locals who have left comments on a local news website stated that we resent very very much that she was able to cut the line. Locals are waiting for affordable housing and locals were put behind her. She qualified instantly for her apartment. Now that feels like prejudice to us.
It's totally fucked up, there's hundreds/thousands of people born and raised in Hawaii that are living out of their cars while this lady jumped the line and gets a $2000/month two bedrooms paid for by the Honolulu gov.
@@alexanderorr2528 Are you pissed at the Ukrainians in the US too? And all the people who cane from the southern border? And the Afghans who were flown over?
@@leslieenoch No because they work very hard and often own their own small businesses instead of living in a 2 bedroom beachfront property paid for by middle class people who work full-time and can't even afford a vacation to Honolulu these days.

@@alexanderorr2528 pretty sure the Ukrainians don’t own a damn thing in America neither do the migrants coming from the south
@@alexanderorr2528 how do you know that the case for every single one of them. Based on your logic they've jumped the line in front of millions of American citizens who were born there and paid taxes.
I hope people aren't mad about this. It was always possible to move to different states with various section 8 programs. She just chose Hawaii.
They are mad. They would prefer to see her without.
Good for you Ms. Tamica.
I am glad for her...wish her success.
This is happening a lot in California. People are being relocated here for similar reasons. They are not cutting the line, they already waited their turn, and have their voucher. She probably went to Hawaii because she couldn’t find housing in Philly and wanted to go somewhere where the winter is milder, in case she ended up on the street. I’ve got people coming in with vouchers from colder states where I work who are having the same issue and came to Cali because they didn’t want to freeze in their state because housing wasn’t available
This is crazy though I applied for section 8 and knowing this is wow... Happy for her but there are many of us with families needing this as well...
@@nenep1872 I get that. Usually families are prioritized over single persons. Which means in Philly she waited a cool second before she even got that voucher.
@@nenep1872 you definitely have to live there for at least a year before you decide to move .
@@nenep1872 Slow down on the baby-making, then you'll probably wouldn't need as much help!! Birth control would help you a lot more than section 8...Just sayin' 🤷♂🤷♂
@@nenep1872 not her fault. Blame the system
I love this. She’s mad smart. Philly is so fudged up man. I’m so happy she was smart enough to think of this.
I live in California and I am a now a homeowner. When my children were little my husband and I applied for section 8 and there was a 10 year waiting list. After doing research we found out that most if not all units or housing allowed participants to live in the residences for up to 10 years. I believe because of this it makes it difficult for families that really need housing to obtain it. Thank God we are now homeowners. The apartment complex close to where we live is run by section 8 not only are these apartments 1 to 4 bedrooms the county has completely redone them and section 8 participants paid between $50-$200 a month to live there. But the concern I have is when you look at the carports why in the heck are they driving brand new vehicles? Hi I truly believe that if you’re in section 8 you should be given a minimum of 1 to 5 years to get things together, move on and give other families the opportunity to utilize the program.
And where does that land people that are disabled and can't work
Ah so getting a new reliable car while you can afford it is not allowed? My mother was on section 8 when I was young and I got myself car that had 38 miles on it. It was new. It's been years and I still drive that car. It took me years to even save the money to get it. Being poor doesn't mean you can never have anything nice or reliable.
EDITED TO ADD: This was not a super expensive car. It was "the dealer's test car" which is why it had 38miles on it and was sold as used. And because I was a working, my income was counted and I had to pay a portion of the rent as well. When my mom had section 8 that was a requirement, everyone in the house over 18 needed proof of income, so when I got older, I paid too. Eventually things got better and we no longer qualified.
How do you know how much they pay for rent? Do you know how Section 8 vouchers work?? YOUR RENT AMOUNT IS BASED ON YOUR INCOME... and a lot of other factors like if it's an apartment, house, or a townhouse, if it's gas or electric, if you pay water sewer and garbage...ect...
And if you don't have income then you pay $0.
And your comment about what type of car someone has is just completely IGNORANT! Someone on Section 8 can most definitely have a nice car if they work and budget their money good enough!
What do a Car have to do with anything? If no one judged you for actually having a husband! And still had to apply for section 8. With 2 capable people! I think think what they are driving is the issue
@@justinenicole3926 first of all it’s not about getting a car it about getting a used reliable car. No one on section 8 should be driving around in a $30-$40,000 vehicle much less a $20,000 vehicle, especially if you classify your self as being poor. If you could pay a vehicle then you could pay rent without assistance. Anyone that is receiving public assistance or living in public housing should be saving money. That means driving a used vehicle or using public transportation then so be it. Because at the end of the day it’s people like my husband and myself and other hard-working people that are paying.
She really worked the program. Happy for her. Had a friend wait for years to find an eligible section eight apartment. FYI, she’s an educated preschool teacher who works full time. Just not enough income for rents here.
What do you mean she “worked the program?” She ported her voucher within the limits that she could port.
Yea, she worked the system alright. Good people working multiple jobs to put food on the table for their children and a roof over their heads and paying taxes so this piece of shit can move to Hawaii?
She didn't work the system. She relocated 🙄
@@DivineMotherGoddess888 Thank you she was smart. I would just be concerned if a volcano would erupt and I would have to relocate again. No one knows when the next volcano will erupt.
@MsArtistwannabe, "Worked the system". It's the other way around.The system worked her. She's college educated, employed as an educator, and lives at or below the poverty level and qualifies for assistance. You must be thinking Hawaii is all paradise. Wrong. Social issues and poverty just like anywhere else.
Congrats to her. She looks very happy
What about the locals in Hawaii that have been waiting ……
It’s ridiculous that places like Philly can dump their problems on others to pay for…..
All organized and so convoluted all by unelected individuals.
She was already in the system so it was easy to make that transition and if all of the states were like Hawaii and take over the vouchers it will make it easy to have open spots for the rest of the family in need

Why are people allowed to stay on public housing for so long? No exit strategy? Just living for free? Smh
She did look disabled to me
Shut up
Well, how much time do you have for me to tell you about the slumlords I've dealt with that are getting filthy rich off places most wouldn't house animals in and no one gives a damn about the kids getting RSV from these nasty places that are moldy, wet, cold and fire traps, eh? Why not get pissed off at those folks instead of the poor folks who have no option but to live in them? Or let's talk about the agencies themselves, shall we? I know of an Executive Director of a HA who once dogged her residents and made people homeless for little or no reason and lo and behold! She was busted at her home in a neighboring county selling weed and I'm talking weight! Or why are these agencies given the option to have Family Self Sufficiency programs or not? That is the way a lot of families have managed to get off Section 8 but some are not forced to have them, they allow them to close down FSS programs. It is not a party to be poor, old or disabled, Folks! It really isn't! If you're really ill, do you actually have the ability to run all over creation to apply, recert, etc? It ain't a party, Fam!
The exit strategy is to use it to rent to own!
Ok what about disabled veterans and disabled civilians not everyone can work there are people who can't work and cannot afford $3000 a month just for rent thanks to Biden everything is messed up it's more expensive to all citizens both middle working class and the poor smh off remember even the poor is on a waiting list
They should transition people who have kids to to more help with child care while they work extra hours and go to school online to get a degree that children would be fed and keeping up with their school work while their parents better themselves
so after 3 the 5 years they can "graduate" from low income housing to regular housing and a proper education for those who don't have one
This can become a cycle of a type of "temporary housing program" and it can bring in the applicants who has been waiting so long on the list to come in and receive Temporary housing too until their time is up in 3-5 years
It is so important to feel free enough to live where you feel you truly belong. This will change her mindset and give her and her family a wonderful life. Moving in general is usually refreshing.

@@GreatTechBuys I understand tax dollars contribute but don't be so quick to judge. Alot of people are disabled.

@@GreatTechBuysMoving to another state with a voucher really isn't a secret. I've heard about from someone on Tik Tok. Thing is alot of people don't read all the information that comes with having a voucher. I read up on it after I saw the Tik Tok video. Also it depends on the News person how they want to ask and divulge. I watched a You Tube video about the same thing and she told you more about her situation. But she's not planning on staying in a section 8 property because she wants her own house. Do we really know how great that apartment is??? Looks can be deceiving. Hawaii is expensive I get it. My place looks nice outside and inside my apartment but it has issues. I'm not in support of those abusing the system to get something for free. I will say it's harder to get over on them now than back in the day with alot of paperwork being done electronically (harder to alter data). Believe me somedays I joke around and say I wanna quit my job to get what they get bc middle class people suffer.
This is a huge issue in PA. They hang signs in the welfare office with lists of towns they PAY people to move to. When they transplant they just add to the burden of the already stressed welfare system in whatever town they move to.
bingo bcuz they know ppl are desperate for affordable housing and will jump at the chance to leave so that's one less burden for their state and the person with the voucher think their getting ahead but some thing tells me her joy will not last long ...its too good to be true

The crazy thing is how adamant people are to stay in the city they were born in. Back when I worked with housing dept. So many people turned down vouchers to move even to the outskirts of their city which makes no sense when it could mean better education for children
YUP....You figured it out and so did she...
Oh what a wonderful blessing for her . I hope she enjoys her new home.
Yet said making it a habit living years and years and years off section 8 not meant as an entitlement program for life like welfare yes a blessing it is yet comes to a point where she has to get a job support herself go to a skills center high school diploma
People out here blessing her, tf? Hawaii has all these people waiting for a home, locals and actual natives displaced from their homes and they're out here paying for people to just live it up?! That's a spit in the face for people who actually needed help.

Why not?
So homeless parents can find out about housing available to them and get off the streets.
Why not? Jealous much?
Hawaii isn’t the best place to live for a poor person. The cost of consumer goods and services is higher there. That can significantly impact her quality of life as tax payer funded assistance like “Welfare” doesn’t cover everything. She may end up wishing she had chosen somewhere less expensive with better infrastructure and community services in the lower forty-eight.
Yeah but that seems years down the road and she appears responsible enough to save her money. If life in Hawaii at some point becomes unaffordable, then she can port her voucher back to the lower 48, and reside here
She made the best out of a bad situation. Good for her.

They have a housing authority, so locals are living on it too.
Oh shush no one would bat an eye if a “local” used their voucher to go anywhere else in the US, just mad for no reason.
There was a news special a few years ago about how Hawaiians can't afford to live in Hawaii and the waiting list is years long leaving people living in Cars. They mentioned this. This person is not only not original in her thinking (its been happening for years) but a jerk.
Hawaii has a big homeless problem. And the cost of living is so high. I think she made a mistake moving there. Section 8 only last so long.

What the private market makes you earn, the government gives for free, with these types of handouts no wonder close to 40% of people make getting walfare a top priority.

@@DP-ih6nt This is a system to be used to get on your feet...it is not a mattress to lie down on.
@@imageadvisorsinternational7935 this wasn't a shot at as much as it wasn't a smart financial move for someone not financial secure. Also if she's already been on assistance over decade well. ..
Hawaii has a high cost of living. Good luck to her
I wonder how she moved her belongings & paid for a flight
She didn’t! We the TAXPAYERS paid for all that! And she has no motivation to EVER get off the system. 😠
I’m happy for her! The sad part is just got Philly,PA operates this way doesn’t actually mean every HUD in every county/State operates that way because it seems like each one goes by their own set of policies,rules and operating procedures. They also tend to select pick who they “help and who they Don’t!”
They gave her hell before she got there. Not to mention the rough start when she arrived there yall just hearing bits and pieces
This is a fed program, so they have no choice but to do as the law states
This woman is family to the director of the Philly Hud program as well as family to Danielle Harris-Brooks of OPWDD on Long Island. Not only is she and her family all on adrenochrome said woman is autistic, bipolar and prone to episodes of violence. Trust that the Philly HUD director made sure to send her and her mother as far away from him as possible. Her story made the news purely as a signal to the illuminati family that cares for her.

@Yvette Bennett I can only imagine, I’m not surprised to hear that.
This is an amazing story. You can tell she is so happy 🤍💛🧡❤️
