I would likely try to find a section 8 landlord that deals with the local housing authority and ask how they are. 

Their explanation is that the banking service they use (Thread Bank) and their agreement with Stripe (payments) leaves them with no choice but refund if such a request is made, even though they have records of the tenant authorizing payments via their own platform.

@Val BerechetAs much as I think it’s disingenuous for the international media to focus on any incident in Mexico they can get their hands on while conveniently ignoring to report identical if not worse crime in their own backyard, I don’t really mind after all.Indeed, it makes people aware of the problem (in case they’re not) and, most importantly, It forces the Mexican authorities to act promptly and preventatively (which they normally always end up to do) and everybody is better off because of that.

AA or NA or state housing authorities that fund recovery-focused housing.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) recently acquired a 360 unit 12 story multi-family building for $24M and  a local news outlet  reported on the building.  

Meanwhile the property was deteriorating and tenants complained and got Dallas County Housing Authority involved.  

Then, there’s paperwork to finalize with the local housing authority, and finally, you start getting rent payments.

This allows someone other than me (an authorized business representative) to do business on my behalf rather than limiting everything to myself. 

There used to be some landlord seminars for Dallas Housing Authority ever so often, so that might be a good place to ask if they are still doing those.One thing to think about is if Section8 might be subject to the DOGE cuts?

It gives him experience in public speaking, forming your own opinion and communicating with authority.
