Soaring Rents Squeeze Section 8 Tenants
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 янв 2017
- After tenants in Renton, Wash. who were renting using Housing Choice Vouchers were singled out and given lease termination notices, an alliance was formed as nonprofit tenants’ rights and legal advocacy groups stepped in to help.

Soaring rents are also a problem for those not in Section 8 housing.
A bit of more of a problem since they pay FULL rent where's the sympathy for them
@@chrismartin2123 No sympathy, just an open hand below eye level, from the landlord wanting more money. And our apartments are not as nice as the ones "the poor" who are on the system get.
Soaring rents are a function of section 8. without it, your rent would go down by at least half.
@@JohnJones-cg2xm
I have to disagree with you. The owner is the one who raises the rent. Section 8 makes adjustments according to the rental value and occupant's income. Their hands are tied. 🤔
If you don't want pay more out of pocket get job section8 won't pay almost all rent forever you are also required to pay some so make hard choices
Can't afford food or housing, but you can feed 3 pets????
Typical logic.
@@ot8479 John's name is really Daren!
3 dogs, dogs are expensive.
People on the dole shouldn't be allowed pets to FEED!
Patricia Richardson
I know... I want one but I can't deal with it.
I agree
@jfsfrnd If they can afford pets and pet vet bills, why should I and other taxpayers subsidize or fully pay their rent?
Noticed the same thing,wonder what other non-necessities she has.
There should be a time limit on the amount of time you can be on section 8. These people stay on it for for many years, sometimes a lifetime. Only the handicapped and elderly should be allowed permanent section 8 status.
Crazy thing is you can pass your voucher to next of kin so people can stay on it for generations!!!
I totally agree with you this should be a limit 1 year at the most if you have not got on your feet and save money by then something is wrong that is why the waiting listis so long and outliving people people who get section 8 tend to stay on it for years decades and u said it right it's usually a single black women with children no father in the house same should go with food stamps
@@tshelby123 correction. All races are using it. Depending on geographical location.
Totally agree
So true so true and plus I think they need a separate portal for people that are elderly and disabled and handicapped to actually still apply so they don’t get lost in the general population of applications so they always get priority so if I said, like I said, that list should only be closed For general population for the general public, not for people that actually truly need the help because those are the basically vulnerable the general public can always try to find jobs to help them pay their rent, but the elderly and a handicap and disabled I can’t always find a job that will take into consideration during handicap so it’s going to be difficult if not, not impossible for them to find work
I am sick of the single mother excuse for everything.
I take it u are married???
No but I was a single mum, but I never used it as an excuse, the first thing they say is i'm a single mum as if that dissolves them from responsibility. That is what annoys me, not the fact they are single mums.
Well maybe u were or are offered better opportunities than her. Until u actually know the full story u shouldn't be so fast to crucify. U can wind up in a worst situation if u lost everything. Ijs u never know.
it was a general comment, but each to their own, have a nice life and be happy.
better opportunities..it is called getting off your fucking ass and working for it.
You can't afford your own rent but have 3 dogs 🐶🐩
3 dogs, 2 kids, and a big screen TV! You don't need Section 8 that bad!
Optimus Prine fresh weeve too
For real. I rolled my eyes so hard at this video.
"Poor me... wah, I can't pay for my 100 dollar wig and my 40 dollar nails every month"
On other peoples dime??! I had a friend 40 years ago on welfare and she called that check her Paycheck!!! UGH
It's Freeloading if you live forever on it and continue to have Babies!!!
@jfsfrnd There is a HUGE difference between a payment, like Section 8, and a loan. Payments go out of tne state's coffers with never a return on "investment"; loans go out and the money is returned, with interest. I know a life of poverty is hard, it's obviously hard. But it results, in some part, from choices made, from "oh, no, we're out of rubbers...just one time won't hurt" to "doing well in school is going along with racists, I don't care about school" to "if I move out of my parents' house now, I don't have to follow their rules any more" and on to infinity. If the safety net is there, some people are going to count on it and use it, and never bother to think about where the money comes from. It's time for it to stop.
Be responsible for your own problems. NEWS FLASH!!! The world doesn't owe you anything.
It don't owe u you're next breath so stfu.
T. T. True so people these days i know people with no kids an they own section 8 an older or eldly who has enough income to pay an still needs help cause rent prices or high
Tahj f learn to spell ridiculous
+Tahj f huh? I didn't understand anything you said
Let's put this honestly. _ I_ don't owe you anything, and I can't afford to give you any more money. Time's up.
with that you lost your dignity? Nothing else? Not avoiding getting an education or job training? Part time job? But because a landlord no longer wanted to rent to section 8 THAT took your dignity? Does anyone else think this is messed up thinking?
What are u doing??
No what took her dignity we as facing homelessness.
Applying for Section 8 should have taken her dignity
She could’ve went to school during those 10 years .. no one’s coming to save u not even the government
9 years of subsidized rent, and didn't do one thing to get off of section 8, but as soon as they get that eviction notice they are ready to "fight it". Wtf have have you been "FIGHTING" for the last 9 years??!!
Having 2 or 3 jobs or going to college trying to get a career or going from psych dr to psych or dr to get well? We are all on the same boat. And we pay tax money for your stadiums or upgrade venues.
Freebies
I can't even afford one dog! Many Section 8ers live in nicer apartments than I can afford.
Like the one I worked with she only worked 8 days a month two days a week and if you asked her to do overtime she would complain that she did not want to go over her limit to interfere with her Section 8 and had the nerve to turn around one day and said can I borrow $10 and I'll pay you back I told her I didn't have it you're going to have to put in the time for it's not my job to feed you I work 40 hours plus and she's been on it over 30 years and brags about it they need to start going over their paperwork and see who's been using the system for years and years and years.
I noticed that. she has 3 dogs and cant afford market rent?? she needs to quit playing the victim card
And they tear up your apartment
@Jason
So am I your point you have people out here that work and then you have people out here to take advantage of programs like these I remember even reading a comment I'm another site where someone has been waiting over 15 years Section 8 so in the meantime are you working are you paying into Social Security.
needs to be time limit on section 8..if people knew the clock was ticking they would be motivated to better themselves financially...with no time limit what incentive is there for anyone to do anything??
I agree with the time limit or longer they stay on section 8 the higher rent is and it increase every 90 days.
Thats easy to say when rent is affordable for u and u have a roof over your head. There is no such thing as a limit. If the price of the rent markets continue to rise. If your in school and working ....a time limit doesn't help
if people had ambition to better themselves they would get the better paying jobs and rent would be no problem..you get out of life what you put in.
working shlub that's bullshit
so people who work 2-3 jobs should pay for people who refuse to try to better themselves forever??
How the heck is someone going to be on public assistance for 10 years? This is not a person trying to get their life together.
Elephant In The Room right i have a friend her son started working while on the program they tried to cut her off she cant afford all that rent an because her income an her son income conbined they say it to much unbelive thoses people helping there self an still cant win
Elephant In The Room If the mortgage payment, taxes and insurance are high, then the rent will be high too. Then you have to factor in wear and tear and other damage. You are not going to become a landlord if you cannot make a profit. It is a business just like any other.
Yes, preach!! 10 years is WAAAY too long for section 8!!
It is actually complicated. People on welfare can not make more than the poverty guideline amount indicates. If they do they are removed from assistance. You have to make pretty much nothing or have lots of dependants. I saw a chart some years back saying one person could only make 17000 or less to be considered poor. It's crazy but in all reality even if a lot of people worked they'd still be considered poor due to wages and cost of living.
shadowspawn99 exactly
Section 8 should be for the old and disabled period.
Exactly am disabled and I have to wait God knows how many years because of these leeches
It’s a program for low income families.
Elderly and disabled just happen to fit that category.
Elderly should have their own separate program.
My mom was a single parent, she NEVER got any help. She worked 3 jobs. Get off section 8.
Laura Traxler My father was a single dad raising two girls and he never took a handout 👍👍👍.
She deserves to relax now and some traveling after working so much. I wish i could grant it to her.
Liesssss
Laura Traxler if I make A lot of money and I can’t afford to pay full price to rent these things I wouldn’t that’s ridiculous
How she work 3 jobs its only 24 hrs in a day wow
10 yrs in section 8??!! Thats just ridiculous!! No! I dont feel sorry for you. There should be a time limit on section 8 recipients (say like 1 yr to help you out) same thing with food stamps. Unless you are an elder or wounded vetetan of course.
Thilia Rose
Since they only show black faces maybe you need to see who is really on section 8 you will be shock to see Jewish woman with husband living a grand life research
They rent frozen thier Jewish associates so it’s a kickback to them most black folks do not know people in places that could help us.. thier are so many programs to go to school for low cost to retrain and got my RN and I am black but many folks do not know but I encountered many white folks that did and they keep that info among themselves .. they get on the govt system to elevate in NYC then they turn around and act like they self made
I don't have sympathy. Working two jobs. Most of my life. NEVER received any help for my education, housing, or food.

But I bet you have internet to post this comment. Unless you went to a public library.
Single mom of 2. Working. Paying normal bills rent, electric and phone...no assistance. No section 8. Father of children(same dad) deceased, so no child support. Many times I go hungry. Would be nice to get some help. But no in my town you must quit working to get the free ride. That's what's wrong with public assistance its not for the needy.... its for the lazy!!!!
+S barrie I have no problem with someone in your position getting some help, i dont think most people would. Its very difficult on your own.
Rents should be regulated so that landlords can't go berserk on what they charge. Also, I am on subsidized housing myself. I look perfectly fine, but I have a chronic, invisible pain condition, fibromyalgia. I was almost killed in a car accident which is how this got started.
Those of you judging, without knowing the entire story, best hope your life doesn't drastically change one day.
Nope. That’s socialism
Exactly.
These people want to be part of the rat race and mad you won’t join in.
They need people like you to make them feel like something…
Be blessed.
10 years! How can the waiting list ever move if people don't try to get on their feet. can adult children work? Many of us struggle to pay our rent each month without subsides. Subsides are fine when needed for a set time. People get so they don't want to earn money so that they can keep their benefits! Not fair!
Leila Robinson damn right
YES!!!!
hmm I'm 62 yrs old my income will not go up and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get better . I live on Social Security, not much left after rent, food, electric medical. So sounds like you want to put me on the street to make way for a younger women with more kids then she can take care if Yes again I don't think my life will get much better
Pamela Meadows You're the exception to the rule. You and others like you need the help more than these welfare hos do.
Pamela Meadows babysit for added income.
Who else noticed her Black Lives Matter tee shirt?Ask them for support, not the government.

Black people don't care about each other and why should they when the taxpayers are footing the bills?

How could you miss it. They zoomed in on it
Difficult to pay rent but can afford three pedigree dogs. Just think, people pay taxes so she can indulge in her hobby.
Exactly 💯
She could also get a roommate.
It's called business ma'am. Property owners have the right to maximize profits.
I was on Section 8 for two years and was disgusted by how they did things so I got off of it. Section 8 is a joke and I’d rather pay full market rent than go through Section 8 ever again. Much happier and will be done with school in 2020 #Future RN
Yup I agree with you. I know people like mon and aunts that have section 8 and they have been on it forever. And I asked my mom how come she never once tried to at least find a condo own while she was on section 8. She told me she got comfortable with the assistance and cheap rent. And yes I have to the office before they are very rude I don't know how my mom can deal with so many different leasing officers.
I use to be on section 8 and finished with school. Good job but pay $2350 rent a month for 1bed 1 bath apartment in downtown Miami. Good area.
Here is a question?? When did you realize you couldn't afford to take care of your kids...what after the 5th kid??? No remorse here........
good question
Paradise J
Jewish women have more kids but you don't hear about it
How do you have three dogs and be on subsidies? I'm on my own and always wanted a dog and can't have one!
FeatheryBird the landlord gets a nice car, vacations, nice house, clothes, eats out all the time, from the rent you pay him, why shouldn't you have a dog?
@@cherimerchant6883 because they can actually afford it without being a bum perhaps
Time for the easy life to come to and end. Oh wait, you still get your free check and healthcare. Right? That is taking from hard working taxpayers.
I had rentals for years, I would have burned them to the ground before accepting section 8
This is not a person trying to get their life together.
Ask anyone, oops EVERYONE that rents section 8, never pay their share of rent and destroy the place.
David Shiplet you look like you are a mind reader like you know everything your heart is made of rock do not talk cause I know people that have 3 jobs and still can make it
David Shiplet It should be automatically deducted from check.
SO WHAT it's not the Working peoples problem!!!!!
You are rare.
Dont classify it as everyone thats not fair...and its BS
I'm a single mom of 3 we are so blessed to have gotten on section 8 last year. This saved me and my children from there abusive father. We are thriving in safe and happy home together. I'm going to school and plan to own my own home someday so my kids will always have that stability I never had!!!
Wishing you the absolute best in all you wish for....
Congratulations. You are to be commended. Be careful. Abusers are known to stalk, threaten and act a fool on account losing control. It's like showing up at a job when you have already been fired.
Every single mother says the dad was abusive or toxic. I would believe you if I didn't hear this same line from nearly 100% of single mothers.
she can colour her hair and have 3 dogs to feed lol and she says she needs help, ya right
Coloring your hair doesn't cost a mortgage u old idiot
no but it does cost money to buy it but she bitches about help
Because u don't know about her situation. There is resources to provide for the help needed.
I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO LOL, WHEN MY MOTHER NEEDED CASH SHE DIDNT COLOR OR DO HER NAILS WE CAME 1ST LOL.
lol don't think that's her hair
Jfc. 10 years on Section 8? Gotta love all these entitlement programs. I bet you she has an iPhone though.
Serie26 someone could’ve given it to her . I gave mine to a Cousin on section 8
She should leave and give someone else a chance to live there
Do you say that to native Americans and jews? They are ENTITLED to reparations...so...yeah. Also,white women are the majority beneficiaries of these "entitlement programs". Check the statistics hun
@@truthtube1000, PREACH!!! This country GAVE EVERYTHING TO THE RUSSIANS when they came here.

Why not
Where's all the baby dads? As a home owner I don't rent to anyone who cant afford the house or jobless. Section 8 renters don't take care of their own stuff nor anyone elses.
That is just pure aweful of you. I have section 8 and my place is pristine. Who are you to judge others
My baby's dad is dying of you must know
That is not true you a discriminating let's call it what it is and you use your free time to insult people
I hope this doesnt make life hard for the elderly,disabled and mentally ill people on section 8! Section 8 should be for people that are disabled and elderly!
Paradise J but those people who claim disabilty is most sitting on the coner getting drunk an most gets over the amount to pay there rent but rent prices so high
I am elderly and disabled, I have been on the waiting list for 10 years. I am not expected to live more than 12 months.

Section 8 is the REASON why rents are outrageous. When the government will pay no matter what, it is basically a blank check for landlords so of course they will raise their prices. At the same time this makes is harder for people who have to work for their rent money.
No...sweetie Section 8 is federal. Housing is State
It doesn't work that way. Section 8 tells you what the rent is. Landlords can apply to raise the rent, but that would have to come from the tenant. In most cases, they can't afford a raise.
@@POCOHONTAS1875 both of which are the government. And even if it is state, most states get funding from the feds.
@@screwpuppies Which inevitably it comes back on section 8. Section 8 tenents pay a max of 30% of their income themselves and the government pays the rest. So if their rent goes up, any increase would still be above the 30% limit and would inevitably fall back on the government and taxpayers. Basically, these increases are blank checks for landlords.
Section 8 usually negotiates the rent they don’t pay what the landlord is asking for. Then in most cases they will pay a portion of the rent and the tenant pays the other part
I agree after a period of time it is time to get off the subsidy.
You go to nursing homes they are short iof wokers every day. Why not work and pay your own rent
Good for u!
Valerei Renfro
Why when others stay for life

Why when white Jewish woman stay on it for life do your research
Why. So that housing can go to an immigrate. Please.
play the race card and you get what you want, it's not discrimination section 8 had kept landlords locked in a loose loose situation free money or get rent to people who could afford it, maybe she thought about that in the past 10 years we might have to better ourselves one day and get off government assistance
It is when those vouchers being turned away only affect one group of people.
You people are so weird.
@@user-gu6vf3je1dhomeowners have a choice no one can forced to house someone

Ask your babies daddies for child support and then maybe you can make it work instead of relying on government freebies financed by the tax payers.
Not all cases are the same, some of us have no family to turn to, are retired and have disabilities which prevent us from doing better for ourselves.

Do what I did when I lost my home, my job ,when the economy crashed and burned, my husband ,myself, and my children became homeless. Instead of going to the government for help we bought a travel trailer and lived in it until we could find jobs. It might of been low income jobs,but at least we had a meal and roof over are head. Of course now I am a homeless widow who still does not live in section 8 ,but I will survive because I know how live without government. And I am white widow at that almost ready to retire.
Divorce mom of three. Worked 2 jobs most years just to keep a roof and food. I didn't come from a very supportive family so no help there. I was taught at a very young age " You don't ask anybody for nothing". Cried many nights. Stress level thru the roof. It was hard. Sometimes life deals you a hand you never counted on. You just have to do your best.
You are a good person, Ivy's Mom. God bless you and your children.
My parents raised me the same way. Some things you have to do without. Do not ask for things. Work for what you need. If you can not afford it, it's ok. Just do not live beyond your means. Do not go to people's house and eat like you are starving. Go home and eat your beans and cornbread. Stop asking to borrow money that you probably won't be able to pay back. Don't say I won't ever live on that side of town. Be glad you are not homeles. Save your money and move to a better neighborhood. Don't say I'm going to buy a Lexus one day. Stop dreaming and be thankful for your Toyota.
How she gonna n have 3 dogs & living on Section 8😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Some people on various subsidies don't understand how it incenses those people who go to work every day to see others not going to work, using EBT cards, driving better cars than the working poor, etc. All of those programs are meant to be temporary, and not used as a crutch for 20+ years. Do you not realize that people who don't necessarily want to work all of their lives are supporting you and feeding your children? I was a single mother for most of my daughter's childhood, although I did not start out that way. And I never got ANYTHING for free!
You're a good person, ToniA, fair-minded and sensible. God bless you and your daughter.
TonyA5555, This comment and others make me very angry. I have fought FOR affordable housing and have lived in affordable housing I fought for for 17 years.
To begin with, I had lived in and taken excellent care of a prior apartment for 15 years. During that time my landlord, a mom and pop landlord, never raised my rent. I certainly wasn't going to demand a rent increase. I paid early every single month. I had no parties and played no loud music. I did have children but they were well disciplined and were no problem either for 15 years.
Someone told my landlord what going rates were and he attempted to raise my rent drastically. But this was a rent controlled apartment. The only raise he was allowed at that time was 3% and he wanted market rates. So he began threatening me with violence and actually punched me in the face knocking my glasses off and breaking them. I called the police. I knew they had been concentration camp survivors and I just asked that we live in peace and didn't press charges for assault. the police saw the bruise on my face and I had been talking on the phone when he knocked on the door. The person on the open line heard the elderly man yelling at me and heard my cry when he punched me out. Things got worse from there. The landlord was intent upon getting current market value immediately and I didn't want to move because this apartment was near my work. But after being told he had a key to my apartment and would sneak in at night and strangle me with a wire if I didn't move immediately and being threatened by him with a baseball bat I started looking for a place to live.
I was unsuccessful in finding a place I could afford with two teen aged kids despite having a good credit record and a good record of paying rent. That's when I heard about an expensive apartment that was twice what I had previously paid but it was less than anything else I could find. Three years of that rent ate up every penny of my life savings.
Then I heard about a new apartment far from my work and longtime neighborhood, but by this time I was ready for Social Security. These apartments were for seniors who, like me had a low income. I was on Social Security. I qualified for this subsidized apartment and was accepted.. I paid a deposit that was cashed and was given a paper that said the apartment would be ready for occupancy on a specific date. But THAT landlord tried to pay an in lieu fee to the county to take 10 low income apartments off the market.
That's when I and others organized to keep those 10 low income apartments on the market. We won. I live in one. For 17 years the tenants who moved into those 10 apartments have been lied to, harassed and have fought for our right to be treated fairly and decently. I still pay a week early. I still am quiet. I still am a demon housekeeper even at 81 years old. Nobody complains about me and I don't complain about my neighbors. But the landlord has overcharged us 4 times and had to refund thousands of dollars of deliberate overcharges he wasn't entitled to under the housing program He tries to keep us on month to month status so if someone is late with rent or has a dispute he can file for eviction quickly. We fought for and won leases repeatedly.
That's my story. I know the 10 others and none of us are living high on the public dole. We just get by,, some of us bare l y survive. We are seniors and disabled people who have to qualify our income annually. We all pay our rent. We adhere to lease requirements carefully. We won't be abused and we certainly won't be bullied by people who don't believe that housing is a right.
The incentiveisation is for a owner, to accept the HVP! The owner is awarded guaranteed rent! I am going to elevate this conversation, most people don't known how to take advantage of this program!!!.. Having rental assistance through the Department of Hud affords you no type of entitlement at all! Most financially challenged people spend time trying to legitimize a argument against people just like them.
@@helengarrett6378 a right? Housing isn't a right

It's not a racist view. You have a home. You rent them out for the best prices. Not the landlords fault.
They want to be taken care of from cradle to grave! Welcome to the real world!!!
It should be for Elderly and Disabled only.
I don't agree with that since so many people are unemployed and the jobs are only for the illegals.
I’m not trying to be insensitive, but the lady acts like she’s loosing section 8 and her voucher, which she’s not. New owners came and bought the building she rents and are not accepting section 8, it simply means she has to find another place to rent. Not trying to be rude, but she’s on an assistance program that has to be accepted, and it was no longer accepted there. She has to find another apartment, it’s not like she’s loosing her entire benefit. I get a sense of entitlement from her, it was not discrimination against low income or single mothers it was a business deal. Why do thy not understand having that voucher isn’t a ticket to live wherever you want! For 10+yrs ! landlords and owners don’t have to accept it.
You’re being dense. It’s not just that they won’t accept it but it’s no longer being accepted anywhere.
Which makes it difficult to find housing.
Those being affected by the rejection are single mothers. At a rate of 90%!
It’s not just new owners. It’s foreign corporate investors buying all the residential real estate in the us causing those who are low income to become homeless.
There business models do not support Americas working class and low income population.
This is why everywhere they go they will be faced with the same management companies with the same business models.
There are no more mom and pop residential owners. Very few.
No reason why she should be depending on the government for 3years. All this time not sleeping and getting interviewed, she should be hard at work like the rest of us.
Yea. work like everyone else trying to make it.

When we working people went to get apartments, Section8 got them cause they could pay more, and the greed of the landlord...partys' over...get a job or two, we have
agreed.
TRACK PETERSON lol section 8 negotiates with the landlord in regards to to amount of rent so most of the time the landlord doesn't end up with the exact amount asked for so why do they still rent to section 8 because they get that rent on time guaranteed every month vs your mom stable jobs in this non stable economy. your just a paycheck away.
section 8 pays higher than market rate because these are high risk tenants...if they do not pay there share of rent you can evict like anyone else..i have and i do not accept section 8 anymore..to many headaches.
TRACK PETERSON The only time the landlord is negotiated with and may get 10-20$ less is when they all try jacking up a sec 8's rent higher than other tenants that pay the rent by them selves. Otherwise they all get the rent they are asking for. Alot of landlords jack sec 8 recipients rent up way more because they feel the tenants can afford it because the tenant is rec housing assistance,which is quite illegal and an abuse of the system on the landlords part.
Hello Ben I really liked your comment about some people being on a very long time and then when you go to go look there's no room for other people to have a chance I a hundred percent agree with you.. but also we need to get rid of the people that are making six figures living in some of these subsidized how is he that shouldn't be there you're overqualified get out and move on
She had 3 dogs?
I can't afford one.
What about the rent squeeze for people that work?
Just one more comment! This woman is leaving after fighting the eviction notice, because she lost her dignity? But maintain her dignity by initially being on Section 8 in the first place. Liberals know no bounds to idiocy
This was on of the reasons why the system wanted to take away the black fathers from the community. They knew the black fathers wouldn't stand for this kind of shit and the mothers would be powerless to do anything other than beg the system for help.
omg now your saying the system took the men out of the home. Your crazy they don't even pay child support. Yeah I'm sure the symtem wants to pay to raise, feed clothe and house the black man's kids. your friggin ridicules!!; Yeah , sure the government want the black man out if the house! Is that what you tell yourself instead if being a dead beat dad?Go get a house get your kids and take care of them yourself! Men blame everything and everyone but themselfs. Do u even see your kids? Probably not
trust me t.j. We all WANT you to take care and support your own kids. WE DON'T WANT TO
TJ B LoL!! That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Make sure your tin foil hat is put on right.
The problem is black women followed the feminist movement which in reality was never meant for them. Feminism is one of the factors of this bullshit.
TJ B you sound dumb no one believes that shit.thay left because no one can live with those types of women .
People mess it up for others who are looking for a place with a Section 8 Voucher and I lost my opportunity because I couldn't find a place in 90 days and I waited for this program for 10 years
I'm still not sure why anyone would rent to Section 8 voucher holders in the first place. It would only make sense if there were no other people wanting to rent the place. If multiple people want to rent the place, the landlord can pick the tenant he/she wants and there is no way to prove discrimination.
BigEarsAreCute James Allen you can find out later and show that you weren't notified that there was a place if you applied for one befor the other person it was rented to and this shows discrimination
I agree young people should not get it the elderlyor any one disable 55 or older
Section 8 is guaranteed pay..working people 50 50
section 8 is not a career its a programe to help people get on thier feet we have to pay a lot of tax to house them its not fare
@Hello, my name is Luckett! They made a typo, it
I am ok with helping the ones in need. But to use the system for years, that's not right.
People with disabilities and seniors should get help. But having children is not a disability. You can work.
10 years later and she’s still in square ONE!?? Somethin’s wrong with this picture lol. In 10 years you can go through college and have a couple years in the field notched into your belt. In two years you can get a decent certificate. In 10 years you can move up a couple extra positions at your current workplace. In 10 years you can self-teach skills. In 10 years you can do a lot. 10% of her life and what did she do with it? Pff..
You make your bed..
I worked with a lady that had 5 kids from 5 different guys, openly talked about the math calculation to figure out how much government money each child would bring her. She was a PITA to work with for everyone....and was proud about it.
where are these Father's to help out with these kids we have to start chosing men who work and can contribute
Gloria Mcqueen
The welfare state incentivizes moms to become single moms and kick the fathers to the curb. Feminism and the welfare state pushed fathers away from there wives or girlfriends all because they could get better benefits by being single and pregnant all the f*cking time.
Most Of the Father are in jail or Don't Care A Dam most Mother Do not know The Baby Daddy's.
Get a job
So much for the strong black independent woman. A lesson for all you men out there....STOP DATING SINGLE MOTHERS! Don’t do it!
Been on Section 8 for 10 years now so that’s 10 years that she has kept other people from getting on it that may actually be able to use it correctly and get off of it for someone else.
Exactly what I'm saying. How is it that men can never get this kind of help it's always women
That is a ridiculous analogy!
Welcome to the rest of the world you know the people that work 50 hours a week just to pay rent and eat!
A need for families ladies. Like a man and a woman not a woman and taypayers.
Frankie Reid You have the exact solution to this problem. We pay women to breed outside of marriage and then it ruins society. The kids are raised in an immoral situation and are out of control because it takes a man to control a teenage boy. My son came out great because my husband is a strong father that DEMANDED proper behavior and respect from him ( or else).
End Section 8. Find a job or find a box.
Landlords need at least as much legal protection as tenants, particularly Section 8 tenants. I live in a suburb hit by economic hardship. My neighbor had to sell. A landlord bought her house and there has been a high turnover of Section 8 renters ever since. The tenants don't keep up with the yard work. The landlord let an entire Midwest winter go by without a functioning furnace in that house. Generally the tenants get evicted for not keeping up their share of the rent. One tenant absconded with all the major appliances upon eviction. I made the mistake of lending money, lawn tools, and space heaters trying to be a good neighbor. None of my property was returned. Several of my neighbors sold out and moved elsewhere when the Section 8s moved in, further reducing the stability and property value of my neighborhood. The problem is not race, but money, the impoverished operate under a different set of values and priorities.
the scary thing is rent is going up hundreds of dollars and section 8 getting cut I have all ways been able to pay rent so maybe I don't know but maybe some people shouldn't have kids they can't afford
Baby mamas need to learn to keep their clothes on, baby daddies, keep Mr. Johnson in his dwelling. You shouldn't have kids and dogs if you are financially limited.
Her lease ended and she knew it was ending, prepare yourself. She has 3 dogs, save your money instead.
"alot of those tenants were really ready to fight back"
Fight back against what? They weren't the ones paying the rent. What right do they have if the property owners decide not to keep lower rent contracts with the government, who is the actual payer, and instead rent to those who are actually going to be held responsible for any problems with renting from them such as property damage? There is a reason more landlords are refusing section 8 vouchers because those who abuse it and damage the property are not held responsible and continue to have the privileged of the handout. I know the landlords have some guarantee for damage reimbursement, but it doesn't always cover the entirety of the damage or the time it takes to repair.
That’s not the reason but you think you know bozo.
Always playing the minority card...wow just wow
How can you justify having children you can't afford. An accident is one or maybe 2.....not 5 or 6. Govt needs to work with townships and churches and require welfare recipients who can work.... do community service. Moms with kids could work in day care centers.
It is terrifying to face eviction from this program because no one may not to rent to you because you been evicted from your leased property it could cause future land lords not to rent to you so leaving the programs like this is very difficult and scary for one you now would have to pay full price rents plus if your evicted it goes on your rental history so that could mean anything from not finding another place to rent to living in the streets in cold weather it's just plain scary to be dropped off the program without a safety net or other type options
Welcome to the real world. To all those that have to really work to pay they're own rent through working
Their not they're
The rewarding of women for sleeping around with bums and criminal needs to stop right now! Go get married to a man who can take care of his family!
Stop mating with bums!
Too late the ones with kids can't find a decent man..Most men will not walk into a situation like this..
This is exactly why you shouldn't choose to be a single mother unless you were married and your husband abandoned you.
3 dogs but can't pay rent 😑
I'm tired of working 6 days a week to barely pay my Bill's. I need section8 so I can live comfortably off the tax payers dime.
You should apply…
Better employment pay so they can get off of HUD
Bulls hit!! (Single parents) some of you gets pregnant to stay on welfare,I can understand first baby,but up to 6-7 babies,that's cheating the system
KrisR A how about keeping dad in the house instead
Welfare ain't free. U have to work forva $440.00 check. Therefore they are shareholding tax paying citizens like everybody else. These women do work. And many are in school. Its called redlining. firesteelwa.org/2017/05/breaking-down-the-racial-barriers-to-housing/
KrisR A they said there where good jobs in the area thats why they stopped accepting it but if your not qualified for the job you dont get it
They should make themselves worth more if they want better employment pay. It's their responsibility to increase their skills. It's not mine. And it's not the employer's responsibility to pay them more than they are worth.
section 8 is not for you to live on it for the rest of your life.
you could have taken the section 8 voucher and moved somewhere else.
loose your dignity? when working, you are supposed to want to become self sufficient.
my heart goes out to the elderly & truly disabled. if you have your health & strength, try to do better.
i love ALL people!
people must love themselves enough to grow, lead our youth, take care of themselves (including mental) & be productive citizens.
may GOD continue to Bless us all!
Everyone makes a choice of what kind of life they want for them, when they are young. Education is the answer. I have two disable children, my husband die . I am taking care of my son"s with no help , bought a house with no help and have a good job. Eveyone born has the opportunity to get educated when they are young. But they decide to drop out of school and not study, get pregnant as a teen and do what they want. People should not bring kids into this world unless they can afford them. Especially single moms.
Go after all the DEADBEAT DADS. That's the issue.
The problem is when did they first know these were deadbeats? Was it before they had the child? Don't have children if you know he's a deadbeat..... afatherlesschildcries.com
The "daddies" often mooch off the welfare "baby Mamas."
@adam Wiech their live with them rent free.
Trying your best to raise your kids means working.
To the ignorant, this system was created to separate families and the women and kids wouldn't be eligible if there was a man in the house!
I am looking for a True representation of those who are on Section 8. It's not all black women. I was a property manager for a number of years and I've seen white men on Section 8 as well as white women.. Mexicans too.
Jocelyn Harris
They have always used the faces of Black people to drive the Welfare Queen narrative...it makes it easier for legislators to do away with funding these programs because poor Black children don’t draw the type of sympathy that poor white children do. The focus is on the mothers who are deemed undeserving. There are far more whites on welfare and in section 8 programs than blacks because there are far more whites in America yet the focus is almost always on Black, un/underemployed women. There are many men in the section 8 program as well.
They take a group of people go by percentage and if the percentage of that race is high to their population then they use it.I bet their is more white people on section 8 because the majority is white in the United states. You will never see a white child on a welfare paper because it's they are the majority. More whites get foodstamps but you don't see the white kid on the foodstamp paper.
Your society needs to start being very aware of the consequences
Soaring rents for seniors who can't afford to rent a place. Seniors worked all their lives paying taxes just to end up on the streets.
I wonder why landlords are choosing not to participate in section 8. I'm sure it has nothing to do with tenants causing upwards of $25,000 damage to apartment units.
I don't blame the owners. I wouldn't want to stay in that either. I wanna make my money. The owners don't owe y'all anything
What bothers me is when I see these young girls with multiple baby daddies that be drug dealers I'm telling you Gucci this Giuseppe that and looking down on people they wont stop having kids!!!! Come in with one got 5
If section 8 is in my neighborhood I'm moving
