This person is stupid AF.

If you have seen this please understand this person has no idea what they are talking about.

Sure her sibling’s landlord probably did decide they don’t want to accept section 8 anymore. That’s been happening around here for a while. In New Hampshire it is happening when whoever owns the apartment complex sells it to some corporation that cranks up the rent so high it doesn’t qualify for section 8 anymore. OR the place gets so run down it won’t pass inspection anymore, but even then when I’ve seen that happen they just move people around as they renovate.

The Housing choice voucher that someone else told her to tell her sibling to ask for is section 8. It’s the same program.

Then in the replies she says she knows someone who’s been staying in a friend’s basement for two years waiting for a section eight apartment where she can use her voucher, that’s not how this works. I wish it was how this works. It’s much worse than that.

When you get a section 8 voucher you only have something like two months to sign a one year lease and if you don’t you lose the voucher. They don’t let you hold onto it for two years looking for a place, that woman doesn’t have a voucher anymore. She probably applied to a complex that has its own subsidy. Those waitlists are long because if you get approved for assistance at that complex you can only use it at that complex, but if you have the bandwidth and the application fees you can apply to 10 of these and be on 10 waitlist at once.

And yeah, those take years because once someone moves in they can’t easily move somewhere else because the rental assistance only applies to that property so they would have to get on a waitlist at another property in order to move.

I think OP is getting really confused about the difference between public housing, subsidized apartment complexes with their own subsidy, and section 8/Housing choice voucher. Those are three different rental assistance programs.

I’m not saying that bad things aren’t going to happen to those of us who get rental assistance, I’m just saying that this person went to Reddit with all the confidence in the world claiming that millions of people are getting tossed out of their apartments because Elon is ending section 8, and that’s not what is happening to her relative at all.

“I’m all for getting bad chemicals out of the food supply, or questionable chemicals…but I don’t think that goes nearly far enough. If he’s going to be serious about making America healthy again from a food standpoint, he’s going to have to do something about changing the food system to one that focuses on public health rather than corporate health.” youtu.be/zOjljPxz_i8 #USDA #USPol #Dairy #ArtificialColors
