We provide safe and affordable housing to citizens who can't afford to purchase homes themselves.Second only to to food, shelter is important as a basic need that no American should live without.This is why I am writing to you to ask for help in the implementation of emergency changes to the Federal Housing and Urban Renewal Section 8 program.As a landlord I propose the following:The qualification for Section 8 should be opened to all unemployed American receiving unemployment benefits.All Landlords who file a IRS Schedule E are eligible to receive benefits based on properties listed on their Schedule E for 2018 or for any 2019 tax return filed.Section 8 will waive the home inspection and Landlord requirements for the participants in this emergency program and will not remove the traditional application process for those seeking to participate in the Section 8 program.

@Lien Vuong this particular deal that I am looking at comes with long term renters.I definitely should have safeguards in place around inspections since inspections have been stalled at this point in time.
