Jacksonville, Florida, Housing Authority Revokes Recent Section 8 Vouchers.
I have not heard of Middletown being notified of reduced funding, but it may be possible in light of the following article.
The
Florida Times‐Union (8/12, Conner) reported that "the Jacksonville
Housing Authority is revoking housing assistance for 150 families who
recently were issued rent vouchers," after it "got late notification of
reduced funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, said Larry Gonzalez, who oversees JHA's Section 8 Voucher
Program." The authority's shortfall "amounts to about $1.5 million,"
and Gonzalez "said HUD instructed the Jacksonville Housing Authority to
use its reserves to keep funding the program." According to the
Times‐Union, "Around the country, the last‐minute cuts from HUD have
left Section 8 agencies scrambling.
Some have even had to cut
off people already living in subsidized apartments." In Jacksonville,
"Gonzalez said he believes that acting quickly to revoke recently
issued vouchers will keep the JHA from having to do the same ting."
