why does it take section 8 a long time to complete a portability transfer, when MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT.SECTION 8 is going to make me lose my apartment because they are taking to long to finish or to complete the paper work.IT shouldn't take that long .all they need is about two weeks to finish this process and let me be on my way out. BUT section 8 do not want to take on the responsibilities of a voucher holder losing they apartment, but it is their fault on the matter. Section 8 needs to speed up the process on people work. Please take the time to help this matter in any way you can. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT ON THE MATTER.
why does it take section 8 a long time to complete a transport transfer when I am on a time limit ?
Section 8 is a funding outfit for low income people... They do NOT look for places for you to live.
Employee Harrasment
The Section 8 Adviser have been harassing my family members privately questioning them about me and threatening them with losing their own vouchers. In addition my housing Rep will not return my calls and is not complying with its job requirements. I am trying to port out to a new state and they will not respond to my request. The Section 8 office in Los Angeles has complied and I was informed by my case worker they transferred all my paperwork to the Pasadena office, when i call the Pasadena office they claim they have not received anything and I have a stamp from the Los Angeles Office showing everything is complete on their end. So the Pasadena office claims not to have my paper work and will not call me back and when I go in I am told I must have an appointment and the only way to get it is through the phone. In addition to this, My voucher expires in a month and they have been stalling for a month
