I am dealing with this office now and they are very unprofessional and rude they act like they are funding your voucher out of their pockets when I had gone to another state to get this hard-earned voucher that I had very professional ladies give me this voucher I had earned by going into an office! These clowns 🤡 in this office need to be investigated for telling individuals they can't get their moving papers and also not responding back to emails that have or calls you leave them! 🤔🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩💩💩

My caseworker is also Aurillia Johnson. Apparently she is deathly allergic to returning phone calls and answering voice mails. Bless her heart, the poor thing.

I'm afraid to port in but the south side area seems to be covered by this one office. I never seen so many negative reviews on a business especailly a govt agency. How is that possible? the head of housing Wendy Walker Williams, and or Kristin Faust I'm sure is not aware of the above unprofessionalism n malpractice emanating from this one office? Omg! I would suggest that if enough people reach out to Secretary Marcia L. Fudge, the 18th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She would most likely have her people look into this office. "We the people" need to do more than complain, write a letter, make some noise ..

Carla Stepp | Oct 5, 2019
Michelle Taurus | Oct 5, 2019

Go to a family shelter & while there apply to as many housing opportunities as you can. If you do go to a shelter, get a case Maher that will genuinely assist you. Or you can apply for housing in another state. Some housing lists have preference points that they start housing people for. For example: it will say something like:, must be homeless, must be a victim of crimes against women, must be a victim of domestic violence,etc. Check out this website www.affordablehousingonline.com. With moving to any new city/state, PLEASE DO additional research on that area. Also Minnesota helps women with children quicker.

DIY&ME | Oct 4, 2020

Stay where you are. There’s 2 different housing offices in Chicago. One is HACC the other is CHA. CHA is your best option because HACC workers are lazy and don’t do their job right. If you want to port out of Iowa and into CHA, you need to contact CHA and your caseworker from the section 8 you have in Iowa and let her know you want to port out. She will fill out the needed paperwork. I’m not sure if you have internet at home but you could’ve easily googled it

My situation I'm homeless just released from prison on the 18 of April I was given 60 to find elsewhere to go or go back to prison I'm in need of housing I'm also not working as of yet what are my options.

Darriel Birdsong | Oct 5, 2019
Patrece Byrd | Oct 5, 2019

When you was released you should've told them you didn't have a place to live cause they would've help you find a place in a halfway house,and If you have a PO you can let your PO know that you need a place to live and they should be able to help you out with housing, even a program to help you find employment so check in with your PO and let him or her know your situation. I wish you the best of luck.

I have been getting harassed and bullied for the last 4 months by the property management that manages the unit Saying I owe them thousands of dollars in which I do NOT. What can I do?

MZ. FOXY BROWN CEO | Oct 5, 2019
Patrece Byrd | Oct 5, 2019

First off go to the management office and just ask them why is it that you owe them? If you payed your rent, & kept your receipts take them with you to show proof that you don't owe anything! If you don't owe them then I suggest you contact the housing authority and speak with your case manager and hopefully they can assist you in resolving the problem or maybe locating somewhere else.
