Voucher recipient has 4 kids under 6, recently divorced (she volunteered we didn't ask).

They have to volunteer it on their own.

So because I have several I volunteered to help her.  

I had someone buying an investment property that insisted on repeatedly volunteering to insurance agents (who didn't even ask!

It appears from looking this info up for people, that the housing authorities don't volunteer this info to landlords already under contract at an old payment standard.

I have done this with a volunteer organisation, which is where I learned the process.  

@Joshua Dorkin I'm not volunteering, but the moderators do a very poor job of policing the categories. 

google  www.Naca.com this is a non profit lender ( don't think they are in Oregon) they do what I think it is you trying to do.. they educate those who need it.. and help them with sweet heart loans to get into home ownership.but before you can get a sweatheart no money down loan from them you must go through there class's you must do volunteer work, you have to keep your credit clean for 1 year..

For several years I volunteered to teach classes with a "ready to rent" tenant education program there.
