The absolute worst excuse for public assistance. I applied in 2014 was placed on a wait and listen 2017 here it is now 2022 and I just got a letter in the mail saying that I am updated on the waiting list. This program has failed our community with the surge in rent this would’ve been beneficial but the entire staff at the section 8 office is just as pathetic you will never get anyone to answer the phone the entire building is too busy to answer phone calls or call back. Our city is not overcrowded to the point where it takes 7+ years for this program to address everybody that is on the waiting list. I was giving false email addresses when trying to contact higher management intentionally. They do not care about the community or the people on/or that signed up for this program nor are they here to help in anyway

The people that work there are very kind. I'm so grateful for their help. God bless them.

If you all do not come clean the mess your apartment complex is making and putting over into the McCleland townhome community. I will do everything in my power to shut that complex down. The tarp is no longer there. Shards of tarp litter my community and bare spots on the roof can be seen. Fix it or I will report you. What an eyesore

I can only speak from a non-resident (or employee) point of view. I have really enjoyed working with the team at WHA. They are excited about the work they do, the people they help, and collaborating to accomplish those goals. Like most government agencies designed to protect or support the public, they have limited funds, ridiculous budget restrictions (one time only allotment of funds), red tape and knee deep paperwork, and the people usually give more of themselves than their position description encompasses because they believe in the cause. The environment can be disheartening to employees being in the middle of public service and government bureaucracy and people can burn out...but the heart is often readily revived when they can truly help a family or an individual. <3 It's a beautiful thing. It's been a fun pleasure working with you all! Thank you for supporting my inspirated idea. <3 We're not done yet, and I'm looking forward to the WOW project and year of follow up.

Your landlord can increase your rent to whatever they see fit for their property. You may then take in the new amount to your caseworker and see if they will pay that new amount. If your voucher was given to you 19yrs ago and your rent hasn't changed since then I'm gonna guess that your voucher amount hasn't changed either. Your voucher has to reflect whatever the current market value of your unit. Basically if you have a vouvher for 2 bedroom then the amount of your voucher should reflect what the current amount of a 2 bedroom apartment is. If the average 2 bedroom apartment is $950.00. Then that's how much your voucher should be around for.(just an example). If they dont cover the cost of your new amount of what your landlord is asking then you will have to find somewhere else to live. They should cover the last months rent. ** these are not facts. Please double check with your caseworker.**
