I have been on section 8 in California for seven years. Every single time I call my worker she never calls me back. The only time I hear from her is when she needs something from me. I've recently called about rat and roaches infested in my apartment. I did not get a call back again. I called environment health and they came to my apartment and looked around and they are giving my landlord two weeks to do something about the problem. I then tried calling my section 8 worker again and still nothing. Im so frustrate and I don't know what I can do. Any suggestions?

To Whom It May Concern, 5/31/2013
I thank you for your time I know you are extremely busy.
I am writing to express my concern and the mis-treatment I have experienced within the Section-8 Voucher Program with the hopes of gaining your assistance.
After waiting for two-plus years to receive a transfer voucher I was granted a 3 bedroom voucher however 3 days after, my husband was removed from the voucher. There had not been any communications as to why this change occurred. I found out about the change after I found a 3 bedroom apartment and paid the $1992.00 security deposit and $1992.00 first month’s required rent (the first month’s rent is non-refundable)
I was shocked to say the least when my application was denied for the household consumption size change.
I resubmitted all the information as requested to have my husband added back to the voucher in the beginning of May-however my case has not been assigned to anyone and the work being done on the case is non-existent. This proves to be detrimental to my family.
Our landlord refused to give us a lease release and section -8 refused to continue with the transfer without one-needless to say I was in a tough spot. In order for my landlord to agree to a release I had to give him a hard date. That date is June 12th which is rapidly approaching.
Now here we are with a 3 bedroom apartment in limbo, $3984.00 paid down, a move-out date of June 12th and nowhere to go with 2 small children ages 6 and 3.
Please help me-I have done all I know how to do. I call the contact center daily and stress the urgency, I have called 311 and filed a complaint and now I am writing you. Please Help. I appreciate you and your time. Thank you.

I don't understand the purpose of t his blog or section. People complain and nothing is done about it. Section 8 workers are lazy and arrogant. My mother in law who is 76 years old put in for a portability transfer in April, has had to complete the same documents three (3) times, because the workers refuse to look at her copies of said documents. I moved to Florida and this is where my mom in law intends to come. Her apartment is in such a terrible state with fungus that her health has deteriorated in the 3 years she's been there. We even took a doctors note. The family friend is trying to be patient, but as we all know the economy is such that a vacant apartment right now is foolish. She is on the brink of losing this apartment. A supervisor, Mr.Williams told my sister in law that June would be the last time she would have to travel to that office. Well again in July she had to return, he was not in. I think that this is unacceptable. Section 8 is an assistance to the people who go through hoops to get it. These workers look down on the recipients and treat them with disrespect and disdain. An overhaul investigation should take place and these assistants should know what will and will not be tolerated. While I think I am wasting my time writing this complaint, I would love to see some changes in the the treatment of recipients, because after all if there were no recipients, they would have no jobs.

VERY FRUSTRATED WITH SEC8
, US
Dec 30, 2009 9:40 am EST

I'm a section 8 recipiant. I have a awful landlord, that provided me with adifferent lease from the one given to sec8. He allowed me to pay more than I was suppose to pay for, he also claim to sec 8 he pays for my utility allowing sec8 to pay him extra, when I pay for my own as well as getting a few disconnection notices when time gets hard, and always have. I've complain to sec8 so many time he's crocked and he repeatly allow the apartment to fail inspection...I complain to Sec 8 providing evidence as well to the Inspectors General and ask sec8 to allow me to get out because I'm being harrass for starting a HP case against him...NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME...It's funny when a tenant don't comply with the lease, they so quit to terminate the tenant, but the landlords get away with victimizing us and getting away with it because of our status.

I applied for an apartment on nyc housing connect and got called for an apartment. The management of the building informed me that I was approved for the apartment. I was given the keys, signed the lease and went to get a one shot deal from HRA. I packed up my things in my apartment and then section 8 asked me for paystubs and said that I was over income and not eligible. They refused to recalculate my income and denied me assistance forcing me to stay in nycha where the conditions are not good. Section 8 does not care about anyone.

section 8 mix up
Rockaway Beach, US
Aug 24, 2014 2:49 pm EDT

I went through a domestic violence situation in 2009' . I went through the district attorney's office in Queens county. They filed a section 8application for me along with copies of my police report and a letter from the assistant district attorney handling the application. I received an interview notice and was told what paperwork to bring.. I went to the interview and a few weeks later received a letter telling me that my application was accepted and that I was given a priority one status and a pin number. I called a few months later to check on the status of my application only to be told that there was no record of my application.I preceeded to write a letter to 250 Broadway.I received a letter the.chairman office telling me that due to the fact that I presently live in public housing I was not eligible for section 8. Why did I have to go through the entire process only to be denied and told that there was nothing that could be done? I am really dismayed by this. The lack of concern for my situation and the failure of the nycha office to completely go over my application truly amazes me..

NYC Housing Authority [NYCHA] lack of accessibility by phone

I live in harlem and the nycha office is located at 55 west 125th street. I am a disabled individual that requires the use of a walker in order to get around and take care of my business. Through section 8, I planned on relocating to the second floor in my building which has no elevator. I am currently living on the 4th floor. I cannot move anywhere else because of my credit. My credit is so bad that no one will take me even though i'm disabled. So, in order not to waste the section 8, I opted to move to the second floor in my building. I went last tuesday to take back my section 8 papers and my section8 housing assistant, ms. Dejesus checked through my paperwork and found that the information she has on my building in the computer didn't match up with the information the landlord supplied on the w-9 forms regarding tax i. D. , ss# and so forth. She printed out the information and told me to tell the landlord to copy the information from the printout onto the fresh w-9 forms that were supplied. Therefore, my package was not accepted until the information on the w-9 forms were corrected. I went the same day to the landlord and explained the problem in the discrepency of the information supplied on the w-9 forms and what section 8 had in their computers. The landlord discovered what the problem was. It was explained to me that central harlem mutual (The landlord) has four different cubicles in regards to the buildings that they own. For example, my building is central harlem mutual, hdfc, the buildings on bradhurst avenue is under central harlem mutual, lp. The property manager offered to hold on to the w-9 forms and call the section 8 housing assistant, ms. Dejesus and explain the mix up and see if the w-9 forms can be sent via fax. The property manager had tried without success to contact ms. Dejesus from last wednesday until today. I myself even tried to contact ms. Dejesus without success. I also tried to call ms. Dejesus' supervisor, ms. White and no one answered the phone. Now, I have to go to the landlord tomorrow and pick up the forms and hope that section 8 will accept them with regards to the new information supplied on the forms. My landlord's office is located in the basement of 234 bradhurst avenue and there's no elevator, so, it's hell getting down and up the stairs again with the walker. The complaint is that the housing assistant, nor the supervisor is accessible like they should be via telephone. Is there someone within the housing authority I can submit this complaint to so that my case can forge ahead so that I can relocate to the second floor?

My niece has a serious illness which can bring on tuberculosis periodically. Because of this situation we have been postponing apartment inspections. We spoke to section eight customer service and they decided to post pone the inspections. Then we get a letter saying this was last request to inspect the apartment .we called her social worker who then reached a supervisor and she explained we have been waiting for her to recover from tb state so she can have an operation .they can inspect safely while she is in the hospital . The social worker asked for accommodation. The supervisor agreed. Two months later we get a letter saying section eight was terminating her subsidy because of no inspections. The social worker called the supervisor who danced around the issue and finally said just answer the letter .the social worker answered the letter with documentation of the situation and now we get a notice totally ignoring the request for accommodation and saying they were responding to our request a new inspection and scheduling a new inspection in a couple of days. This is ridiculous. This have are making it seem like we are avoiding an inspection which is not the case.

I have had this apartment availible for rent for the last two months, waiting for a young lady and her to little girls to move in with their section 8 transfer.The first month she was brought to me by a realitor she explain to me how poor the condictions were wher her section 8 was paying.She spoke about how poor the restroom was the lack of good heat and who the little girl were alway sick do to the heat issue.And the the fact that the landlord didnt care about the repairs and he was alway bothering her because of her complains.I understood and told her I would rent her my apartment because she and the girls loved the renenovations the new kitchen restroom nice refurbished hard wood floors and the space the apartment offered.That was in september.The following month I didnt here from the inspector till oct 28 he stated he would be their on the 29 between 8am and 4pm, I asked Him to call to make sure I was their and no one wasted there time and He didnt call till he was at the door, with and atitude yelling and talking to me like I was his step child.I shook it of yet I didnt think that would be enough time for the to finsih the paper work so the the family could move in by the first being it was so late in the month for and inspection but.Its seem to me like it was a setup for this deal to fall threw the cracks from what Im seeing dealing with section8 for the first time.

Well Now its Nov I get a call on the 24th say he was coming again between 8am and 9pm and he was not calling.I thought oh well that must be how they do bussiness so that that I'll be waiting their goods my day again.I wakeup aroung 6am at 745am I go across the street to get a cup of coffee.My cell phone rings at 755am its the inspector saying he's at the front door and He seem very upset.I rush back across the street to the house where theirs a man standing in my hall way.I ask what time it was and he then started yelling and saying that he didnt have time for this [censored] and if I was going to let him in to inspect the apartment or he would leave.I ask his name he gave no answerand began yelling bizzar things again.I said to this man why are you acting in this manner when I havent done or said anything to desevre this treatment what wrong.He replyed just open the door so could do the inspection.Never once did he identify Him self.

So I should him the place.He looked around and while looking he make a few comments one was about the radiators not haveing a gromit around the pipe on the floor.And the a part of the floor had to be replaced which was only a spot that was hard to reach in a conner behind the radiator that I was on able to reach.I thought OK.And made another comment about the valve knobs being old.

After this I asked if the place had passed of failed.He reply speak to the renter I then said Arent you going to tell me isnt that your job.And Boy did he get upset.I aw he was upset so I asked Him what his name was he reply why do you want me name.I said is their a problem and why cant you tell me your name, he turn his back to me and started walking out.Being I had my camera in my pocket I took his picture and he got upset again asking my you took my pic.I explainded I do know who you are and I fell Im going to have to make a complaint.

In 5mintues My cell phone rings, their another person the managerfrom his office I asked his name he said his name was a mr.Cauldestine saying I threadin the inspector.I explained I never said a word to that man I asked his name I ask him whats time it was and that he was being very nasty never reveiled how he was and showed up at 755am mad seeming to be mad because I was not thier when he knocked.The manager then said to me well didnt you know he was coming, which again I found to be again unproffessional.I then asked mr.Cauldestine what that Inspectors name was because the inspector later said his name was mr Sanders after he got in his car I took a picture of his plates mr.Claudestine said the inspectors name was something defferent he said his name was mr Coetosh. Could some one please look in to this matter and please get back to me.

The person who is in danger of looseing this beautifull apartments Name is Miss.Robin Fudge V#0471173, case worker is mrs.Hill or mrs. Spinger.I am mr.Cooke.

NYC Housing Authority [NYCHA] nycha

My complaint is about nycha I had my door kicked or hit with something while I was sleeping on 1/11/07 and housing is charging me for the door $629. I called the police and made a report and had to call the fdny because the door was jammed and I was locked inside and they came and opened the door but, the door was destroyed. Now nycha wants me to pay for the door but it wasn't my fault and I live on a fix income which is public assistance and can't afford to pay. I reported this incident when it happened and gave my housing assistance copies of the police complaint but she insists that I pay and it keeps coming on my rent statement. The police told me I wouldn't be responsible because it was vandalism and it wasn't me but, she continues to charge me. Please help me. I dont know who did this.
