This was just to get an APPLICATION for section 8 housing. My God....
In East Point. Other places are better, some are possibly even worse. They close themselves to taking new applications for years at a time there, apparently.
Incidentally, Deal won the gubernatorial runoff, and Handel conceded without demanding a recount.

Why can't you just download the form, print it, and mail it in?
Read my second link, Trixy.
The answer is because they are fucking idiots, of course. And the possibility of the poor not having access to computers (don't know a thing about East Point public libraries, although I'd guess they have them), or being computer illiterate (or actually illiterate).
But basically, the answer is that they are fucking idiots.
I mean, the worst part is not even opening their waiting list for 8 years. Thewaiting list.
What a fubar system! Closed for 8 years, what's that all about? And only 455 spots for 30,000 applicants? :eek:
Damned if I know.

(not being lazy, per se, just reading all about it, too)
Their link to the city of Marietta is broken, so looked it up - they haven't been accepting applications there since 2001.
Also closed.
links to check for waiting list openings.
One that is open
I do, however, wonder how much time someone who actually needs it would be able to put into finding a place where they could get it, or even if they could manage to pack up and move.
Last edit - there's also this.
:hmm:Quote:
Moving to Work (MTW) is a demonstration program for public housing authorities (PHAs) that provides them the opportunity to design and test innovative, locally-designed strategies that use Federal dollars more efficiently, help residents find employment and become self-sufficient, and increase housing choices for low-income families. MTW gives PHAs exemptions from many existing public housing and voucher rules and more flexibility with how they use their Federal funds. MTW PHAs are expected to use the opportunities presented by MTW to inform HUD about ways to better address local community needs.
Glad to hear that Deal won, he seems like a decent man, particularly in comparison to Handel's lunacy.
Ya could always move to Wyoming...where men are men...and sheep are scared shitless! :haha:Quote:

I can't decide if John Shirek writes like this because he is an idiot himself or because he thinks the people who watch this station and read their news stories are.
