If they say you don't need any, I would ask them why (and give a quick call to building department, describing your scope of work and see if you get same answer).

In the past, the Department of HUD targeted S8 rents to be at the lower end of a rental market.

There have been multiple legal challenges to this position of the FTB (California tax department, or Franchise Tax Board), but I don't believe any CA resident won such a fight.

Pennsylvania has specific regulations for these facilities, mostly overseen by the Department of Human Services (DHS).

You are obligated to make a good faith effort to find a replacement tenant and minimize the damages to your departing tenant.

The first step is always reporting to your local police department and getting a document that states that any unauthorized visitors will be trespassed immediately-- but in my experience, it takes more than just this to get the squatters out.

We have offshored our reservations department and have them assisting with reservations related administrative tasks but I believe you will still be extremely involved in the day to day without a PM company. 

To provide an example, I was previously employed in the legal department of HHM, which at the time was a an affiliate management company of a publicly traded hotel development/operation company where we managed  the portfolio of  hotels as well as provided 3rd party management services.

I have come to find out that every city,county and state have different rules/regulations when it comes to starting group homes.Research your local city zoning ordinance and reach out to your local county human services department for more information.If you have more specific questions you would like to ask feel free to reach out and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. 

Hi Tony:The best way to handle is to visit the city planning department which zoning is usually part of to see if a variance is granted, and examine the plans filed.
