***SECTION 8*** FUNDING to DRY UP NOV 1 -- "MASS DISPLACEMENT"
“We had some funds that were flowing, but starting Nov. 1, however, we will not have those funds,” Gornstein said. “We will not be able to make payments to landlords, so what could happen is landlords may start the eviction process."

...
“But after October, there’s no guarantees,” Kane said. “If they don’t get money, landlords might find they’re not getting payments…. If the shutdown continues more than another week or two, we could be talking about mass displacement of millions of low-income tenants in a few weeks.”

It's not as if these people will be immediately thrown out, but the landlords will be owed money and not get it. I think some places make it pretty difficult to just throw a tenant out, so it'll be the landlords getting screwed...

Re: ***SECTION 8*** FUNDING to DRY UP NOV 1 -- "MASS DISPLACEMENT"
pardon me and all that, but GOOD! Let these bums pay their own rent. How did this situation even develop? I went homeless for years, and during that time I saw occasional TV or newspaper coverage of people receiving spanking new townhomes (in Chicago, as one example) which they soon ruined. I was the wrong skin colour and had a car to live in instead of a dumpster to shoot drugs in, so I didn't qualify. It's a disgrace to all those who work to pay rent, or just go without. I don't feel sorry for these people at all. Go get a job. If that isn't enough, go get two jobs. If that still isn't enough, make things, sell them at swap meets, wash cars, whatever. Early Americans had to practise this principle.

Good! These rat bastards DESTROYED my old neighborhood and I was stuck there dealing with their shit for 5 years before my house reached enough value for me to sell it and break even. It was a nightmare. This would be the best thing for any neighborhood is to get these cockroaches out. They come in, don't follow the rules, won't work, are filthy, have 20 kids that run wild all around the neighborhood and generally act a fool. I don't know who's worse, the section 8 losers or the illegals. Thank GOD I don't have to deal with either of them now.

Agree, it is completely unsustainable. People should have long since made other arrangements for their lives than being subsidized forever. Even if we truly wanted to, there is no way this can go on.

Holy carp. Thank you so much for posting this. My husband and I were heatedly discussing this last night. He thinks I am crazy, nothing is happening or going to happen and also works for the Housing Authority. He believes that the money that they get from HUD is PREFUNDED and, therefore, not at risk in case of default. I laughed at his naivete. I hope I am not saying I told you so come Nov. 1.

In these parts, people being evicted will trash the house/apartment to make it uninhabitable till completely gutted and rebuilt (plumbing, wiring, walls, doors, etc.

Here's an article from Texas:

[link to lufkindailynews.com]

Apparently in TX, the landlord cannot throw out the tenants as long as the tenants continue paying their share of the rent (however miniscule that may be).

The original article I posted is from Massachussetts, and it is pretty clear that landlords there can evict tenants.

Of course it is the landlords that are getting screwed!!!

All I can safely predict is that a lot of various police department arson investigators will not get much rest.

Re: ***SECTION 8*** FUNDING to DRY UP NOV 1 -- "MASS DISPLACEMENT"
EBT going down, Section 8 going down...their strategy is so clear it is disgusting. Low income people are the most likely to get riled up and are easily manipulated. Take away there food and housing and they cause chaos trying to take other peoples food and housing...giving them the perfect reason to swoop down with martial law.

The low income people will be used as as the means to an end.

Apparently different states administer the funds, and administer them in different ways. One state might prefund, another rely upon replenishment of federal funding.

scratching

I just got curious from the EBT threads here, and started looking up Section 8 funding stories, curious about how that segment of the poverty industry plays out.

Am not finding much, just these couple of very local articles. Nothing national.

If the local Housing Authorities do not get their monthly federal money on the first, then it will be a lot more than just landlords w/ SECTION 8 vouchers waiting to get rent. The federal mess is about to spill over into the state/local level and it is going to be ugly!

These are private landlords who accept section 8. You also have to consider the housing projects run by the Housing Authorities. Their utilities, payroll, security, etc. all depend on that monthly HUD money. The ghetto may be a whole lot scarier come next month.

The entire Section 8 program should be re-evaluated!

Now might be the time.

I too want low cost/free rent, everyone does!

So why just the few?

How about placing a time limit on Section 8
that is less than forever so that other can
benefit from having low cost rent?
