    Hint for building wealth: if you inherit a few hundred thousand while on section 8, use the Hud housing loan program and buy a house. Stop giving someone else 1/3 of your income with zero equity in return if you are given the chance.

    There is a woman in my apartment complex that has Section 8 and lives 6 months of the year in Brazil! She has been doing this for years. So USA pays to subsidize her apt in New York State while she is traveling internationally. $$$ paid for an apt with no one living there.

      it is nationwide for Section 8 the $100,000 asset limit. Also HUD Section 811 housing program for people with disabilities has not implemented an asset limit.

    Great video!!! And Section 8 is only giving you 6 months if your already on Section 8 and you have over $100,000 of assets to spend or put that money in a trust

    My neighbor has section 8 housing, she orders from GrubHub Uber eats, she gets all of her groceries delivered, she's driving a brand new 2024 Lincoln Continental, and she bribed to me the other day that she only pays $150 for a two-bedroom apartment. And she gets $130 a month for a light bill. My husband is a veteran, we're lucky to get 256 a month for a one bedroom apartment, and we get no allotment for lights. And we are living on $1,379 a month for two people, and we only are a lot of 23.00 a month food stamps

    I live in Georgia; You forgot to mention HUD Section 811 housing program for people with disabilities has not implemented an asset limit. I been in my HUD Section 811 housing since 2011. I been work the whole time except a 2 year gap I was unemployed. In 2020 I inherited $325,000 . I choice not to create a Special Needs because HUD counts the whole withdraw in calculating rent; vs only $13,000 a year in dividend and interest income. I also chose not to create a Special Needs Trust because of the higher tax rate and expenses like vacations do not count a qualified expense.

      @@Lili-xq9sn HUD counts distributions from Special Needs Trust and any other trusts as income. Only HUD Section 8 which is for anyone that is low income has the new $100,000 asset limit effect of this year. HUD section 811 Permanent Supportive Housing Program for people with disabilities that was once homeless has not implemented an asset limit in 2024. Since I'm in HUD section 811 housing program I specifically researched this change and it does not affect me.

      Special Needs Trusts (SNT) are very different from other Trusts.
      1) non-revocable: you give all $ to the trust forever!
      2) SNT never GIVES you $: $ is paid by Trust for certain expenses outlined in Trust....essentially pays specific bills (not paying you, though).
      3) SNT cannot cover regular, recurring bills or any bill that would make you lose your social services benefits, like Medicaid. For this reason, it can't pay your portion of Section 8 rent.
      [You "can't take $ out of SNT because the $ is no longer yours, or under your control. It's a deal with the Devil to still use social services & have inheritance. If you die before inheritance $ in SNT is spent, then every State you got help from drains the remaining $ from the SNT.]

    The commenters are full of crap!!! If you have never applied for affordable housing or section you you ha e no idea what goes on. People are literally forceð to reduce their hours, make drastic cut backs to qualify! No one wants to homeless and if the system works in your favor and you can afford to live marginally then why not? I dont have any because I make too much but not enough to pay market rent. To qualify I would have to cut back and live just to pay rent just to live in"affordable housing"
    Yes, ppl drive nice cars, and take vacations because that is how the system works. The entire system is rigged and people become masters of disguise and learn how to play the system. I am not hating, toodles to those who beat them at their own games!!!
