3) It's been 5+ years since we've seen a S8 tenant lose their voucher for property damages, not paying their portion of the rent or utilities, or other lease violations (letting others move in with them).It's our opinion that #2 & #3 above are caused by overworked caseworkers not having the time to process the extra required paperwork, so they take the path of least resistance.4) S8 needs someone at the federal level to put more of the program online and streamline the process!
