Marcia Hamilton+FollowAffordable Housing Cuts Hit Black Renters HardThis is wild—huge cuts to affordable housing are about to hit, and Black renters could be the hardest hit. Decades of underfunding have already left public housing in rough shape, and now, with billions in federal cuts and programs like Section 8 on the chopping block, thousands could lose their homes. Community leaders are fighting back, but the threat of displacement is real. It’s like history repeating itself, and it’s honestly heartbreaking to see families’ futures hanging by a thread. #AffordableHousing #BlackRenters #HousingCrisis #Section8 #PublicHousing #Safety415664Share
amberpatel+FollowSection 8 isn't what they make it out to beFinally got a Section 8 voucher after years on waitlists only to decline it! They miscalculated my income by counting a one-time bonus, making my portion $1545 when it should be $1100! With utilities, I'd be paying $2000 on $3200 take-home! Always check their math and compare options! My current tax credit apartment is actually cheaper with utilities included! #Section8 #AffordableHousing #HousingTips159359Share

victoriaellis+FollowBeware! Section 8 tenant with a high credit scoreI rented my property to a single mom with a 780+ credit score through Section 8. Big mistake! The house was left in ruins, and I had to evict her. High credit doesn't always mean responsible tenants. Landlords, be cautious! #section8 #landlordlife #rentalwoes66128Share
Barbara Sullivan+FollowReasonable rejection of section8 tenants?We're in a bit of a bind with our rental property. Our agent found a Section 8 tenant, a woman with three young kids, but we're hesitant to proceed. We've heard rejecting could lead to legal issues, and now we have two more applications. Can we choose another applicant without legal trouble? Any advice would be appreciated! #rentaladvice #section8 #landlordrights3850Share
