HUD Section 8

The city boarded up one of Mr Faulkners home as stated in the journal what they failed to tell the public was that Doug Adkins wrote him a letter stating the home was improperly boarded up lets see the house was boarded up at the end of 2008 that gave Mr Faulkner four years to get the city to fix the damage but no help from city and to be fair the board up was order when Mr Koler was in command you know Mr section 8 himself. I believe this was after the city was harassing Mr Faulkner for having a banner placed on one of the apartment buildings projects in the city that he brought back to life. I believe that a program can benefit this city if ran correctly such as
1. Get the fair market rents right that means a house on Baltimore st that a investor purchased in today's market should only get half of the market rent of the house unless that investor rehabs the building for example the market rent is 800.00 three bedroom the house has a old roof no siding or old dull paint single pane windows old furnace no ac old plumbing I just describe 80 percent of the downtown ok so the rent would only be in this condition 400.00 ok if MPHA would set up a scale increase in rents for the program wow problem solved see we only need to get the investors who own the properties a incentive to put the money back into the properties that will get them the rent that they want a new home in the community tax dollars for the city and permitt fees for the building department this is the way this program should be ran not everyone of the investors would agree but a lot of them do so we can keep the vouchers keep HUD happy quit beating up the landlords DOUG on the program to discourage them from inrollment of there properties I believe someone said once use what we got and make it work. Let's get to it And people let me tell you the city has violated the rights of the voucher holders of this program HUD is just giving them the chance to save face the water department has been tracking section 8 voucher holders and in writing told voucher holders that they have to pay old water bills off on properties that were never on the program and they were not a voucher holder at that time I have seen them that is why HUDonly wants county's to run this program no conflict of interest Doug but you already know this don't old boy get out while you can

What,no cohabas?

I, too, am very excited about this!!! If the "artists" can bring me a couple of boxes of Ramon Allones Specially Selected, I certainlly won't miss stopping to see them long enough to reward them handsomely for this gift.

My second choice would be Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2.  I would even be very happy with a box of each.

Of course, as soon as I get my hands on these fine cigars, I'd have to vacate the downtown area.  I'm sure that the powers that be wouldn't like me enjoying one of these exquisite smokes in their downtown.

If Middletown gets stuck with Section 8 housing, I wounder it there is a way they can designate one neighborhood as Section 8 housing that way they are all going to be concentrated in one area and not spread throughout the city?

READ THE LETTER FROM HUD MRS MOON HAS POSTED THE LINK GET THE TRUTH NOT WHAT DOUG IS SAYING HE AND THE CITY IS NOW BACKED INTO A CORNER AND THOSE NUMBERS HE KEEPS SHOOTING OFF ARE NOT THE NUMBERS THAT THE COMPANY THAT WOULD BE HUD THE CITY'S BOSS  WANTS TO USE TO RUN THERE PROGRAM THIS IS NOT THE CITY'S PROGRAM TO RUN INTO THE GROUND AND MANIPULATE TO REDUCE THE VOUCHERS AND THE SO CALLED ATTORNEY MR ADKINS IF HE WAS GOOD AT BEING A ATTORNEY WHATS HE DOING NOW HUH ? DOUG TELL THE TRUTH TO THE CITY STOP THE ATTACKS ON THE LANDLORDS SUCH AS DAN TRACEY NOT GUILTY GIVE IT BACK TO HUD. LISTEN TO JOSH THE CITY CAN RUN WITHOUT THE HAND OUTS SUCH AS HUD LOANS. WHO IS REALLY ON SECTION 8 THE VOUCHER HOLDERS OF THE CITY OR THE CITY ITSELF? MR ADKINS WAS SURE TO SAY WE WILL HAVE THAT MONEY SPENT BEFORE HUD CAN TAKE IT BACK  

I don't see what we have to lose by following Mr.A's approach----

It'll be alright Vivian. Dougie and company will fix everything. After all, with their decisions of the past, haven't they taken this town in the right direction? New economic growth, new, abundant jobs, the "Cadillac" of Section 8 programs, a thriving downtown, open green spaces galore, money flow a-plenty, people fighting with each other just to relocate here, a fair, honest, open city government, smart people at the helm...... The new finance director thinks we're just fine. Judith thinks so too. Dougie's got a reason to be cocky. He knows how to tackle this HUD thing. Just needs an extension to figure out how.

The program needs to be removed from the city all they care about is keeping enough vouchers to allow the city to ask for Hud for money and like Joush said that money comes with a price. Doug run the program right and quit making it hard on the tenants. and landlords you are going to keep pushing these people around and they are going to all go to hud and then it will be really bad there has been alot of questionable actions that Mr Doug has been in forcing on this program its coming to a head and at the right time.

Watched 2nite's meeting--

Today Middletown Journal
Section 8 Options On Table

”A more thorough discussion will take place at the Jan. 22 MPHA meeting, a half hour before the City Council business meeting.”

 HUD stated ”In light of these considerations, we believe it would be in the best interest of all concerned to explore an orderly transfer of the City’s program to the Butler Metropolitan Housing Authority.”

I think every dine of any HUD money coming into this city should be audited and checked out throughly to see where it has gone. there needs to be answers.IMO

Beautiful and real, Ms.Moon
Thank you!

Maybe a citizen could raise these concerns tomorrow night?
