Section 8 is a great tool to get back on your feet. I used the money I saved on rent to get reliable transportation, work clothes, etc. As things improve, you contribute more and more to your rent until you no longer need assistance. I've been at my current job 28 years and able to give back to the community. It was a lifesaver back then for me and my daughter, who now owns a successful business. We're not all bad people.

@kinikia Needing help doesn't make anyone a bad person. There will always be people abusing the system whether they are rich or poor. Look at all the opportunites the rich take and people turn a blind eye. It seems that when the system is used for what it is intended for, Nay sayers have to condemn them. I am happy for you. Your story gives hope for successful futures.

@@MaureenKo1 i certainly understand that. I live in a safe haven city and we received at least a thousand immigrants. The news quoted 700 which means its probably double that amount. We have a city riddled with homelessness due to overpriced rent and other issues, unemployment and underemployment for natives. But I don't blame the outsiders for taking advantage of the opportunity for better living. I blame my b.s city for their political moves. I don't have section 8 but if I did I'd use it to its full advantage.

This is happening a lot in California. People are being relocated here for similar reasons. They are not cutting the line, they already waited their turn, and have their voucher. She probably went to Hawaii because she couldn’t find housing in Philly and wanted to go somewhere where the winter is milder, in case she ended up on the street. I’ve got people coming in with vouchers from colder states where I work who are having the same issue and came to Cali because they didn’t want to freeze in their state because housing wasn’t available

I believe that is what many other Americans are saying about the current climate of the States/Mainland "Keep in mind how relocation and implants of people is impacting the community/people/citizens". Because Hawaii has been exploited and marketed as a Paradise on earth, this has led to tourism driving up the cost of living and making daily survival near impossible. Fret not over this one story of relocation. This person does not pose the same risk as former, current, and future developers. Keep fighting for housing and social services that all human beings need to function and prosper in a capitalistic society.

Each HA has its own qualifications and criteria list. That’s because it’s based off the area. With inflation going up, most ppl qualify anyway. They tend to confuse section 8 with Luther programs. I know many county and state workers on it. Ppl who have disabilities as well. Not everyone that’s on section 8 wants to be. Some ppl use the program to elevate themselves. We all know how these companies will pay u pennys and expect you to be ok. Let’s be honest! Everyone on it is not lazy. Most are working and tryna make a living 🤷🏾‍♀️ just like you 🫵🏾

I had less money and more kids and jumped through so many hoops and got nothing and was homeless for short time and found church to help a little bit 🙏. I had to figure out on own how to work and take care of small kids with no help. I manage to turn life around completely but still have never had child support or help in any way. It seems there are different standards and help for people who they see different than minority groups. I hope things are better for everyone and children don't have to suffer. I see why people are mad when a non citizen can get help and more than someone who's family has been here since beginning.

As someone who has lived in Honolulu it's sad to see yet another example of people from the Mainland taking adequate housing from the indigenous population. Some of them are homeless living in cars or the streets while having jobs all because they can't afford housing. Hawaii needs to do better at taking care of it's own residents before taking care of people from the mainland!

Interesting. So you think there would be a range with a limit based on the area housing cost. What everyone really wants to know is how do you move up the waiting list?? Why is there such a long wait? Why can't Section 8 be restructured, reorganized and actually help people in a timely manner? Is it fair and do they operate with integrity and honesty? Do workers help their own friends and family first, truly, I mean that is human nature. Do you think it is toxic and a new program would be more beneficial? Are there any real solutions? Do they listen to workers ideas when they want to implement new improvements?

People commenting here in a negative vain should pay attention to the entire video in detail. This woman was living in Philly in an apartment when the housing agency that owns and manages that apartment complex made a decision to redevelop that property and she was FORCED to vacate. This was NOT HER CHOICE. So she decided that if she had to give up her home through NO FAULT OF HER OWN she would take that lemon and make lemonade. This sort of thing happens more frequently than people understand. Quite often when this happens individuals and families can end up permanently displaced or in a homeless shelter. We should all be happy for her and quite frankly I am proud of her. She took a bad situation and turned it into an improvement in her own personal circumstances...Bravo and well done... Stay blessed smart lady.

Don't hate the player hate the game. She did what she has to do. I'll never look down on those less off and commend anyone in those situations for doing their research. Even through it's government subsidized you still need a willing landlord to get it. So yes it's a government hand out but it's also income for those willing to lease their homes to those in need. I think if people knew they could move around the country it would actually be better for everyone. If you're in a place where work is hard to find and you can move to a city with a better opportunity, go for it. On the other hand if you're tired of the city life and want place and quite for your family and a smaller town would suit you, you should be able to do so.

People in this program do very little to try to get skills to improve their lives so they can support them selves on their own. That's too hard for them to do, it's too easy to mooch off the tax payers to subsidise there rent. I see this all the time.

This is pathetic! Revise the system and process. There shouldn't be a wait list of that magnitude. All of these empty lots and buildings around Philadelphia that can be renovated and house alot of people. The wait list would be eliminated. Glad she decided to leave Philadelphia and has found a peaceful beautiful place to live.

@@GreatTechBuys I understand tax dollars contribute but don't be so quick to judge. Alot of people are disabled. I've been in a situation with two children and needed assist like this but they wanted me to live in that high rise she came from. Which is the Projects.

@@GreatTechBuysMoving to another state with a voucher really isn't a secret. I've heard about from someone on Tik Tok. Thing is alot of people don't read all the information that comes with having a voucher. I read up on it after I saw the Tik Tok video. Also it depends on the News person how they want to ask and divulge. I watched a You Tube video about the same thing and she told you more about her situation. But she's not planning on staying in a section 8 property because she wants her own house. Do we really know how great that apartment is??? Looks can be deceiving. Hawaii is expensive I get it. My place looks nice outside and inside my apartment but it has issues. I'm not in support of those abusing the system to get something for free. I will say it's harder to get over on them now than back in the day with alot of paperwork being done electronically (harder to alter data). Believe me somedays I joke around and say I wanna quit my job to get what they get bc middle class people suffer.

This is a great story. I was on the waitlist for 16yrs before I received my voucher then when I received it in 2021, I had 6mos to find a place and my voucher went to waste because a lot of landlords weren't accepting it an the places that were, were in bad neighborhoods and the properties weren't up to code. I asked if I could go outside of PA & I was told I'd have to wait a yr... I'm really glad she was able to do this.
