I keep receiving scam calls for a non existing appointment! What is this?

Marin housing authority manager Barbara had no sympathy when Ridgeway apartments went in lying on my family she sat there as I cried and pleaded not to remove me and she looked at me and said she didn't have no sympathy and they took away my voucher and I had two disabled children but by the grace of God I been without a voucher for almost 11yrs doing just fine her luck may still be the same but if not it's because she took away from a single mother of 3 and had no remorse

Marin housing needs workers who act fairly, not just for their friends, and they need to know the law, and set aside their feelings and obey the laws

Called to inquire about the intake process.

MHA: "You'll have to fill out an application to get on the waitlist but right now we have no waitlists because they are full and we can't tell you when a waitlist might become available"

Me: "So I can't actually fill out an application, is what you're saying?"

MHA: "Right now there are no waitlists available"

Me: "Is there a State agency that you can refer me to?"

MHA: "Even though our name says Marin Housing Authority, we are not the authority. There are private developers, housing managers, private landlords, and other private people who work with low income housing. You can get on the internet to do some research. Or have a family member help you with getting on the internet"

Me: "This has been the most unhelpful phone call"

The Marin Housing Authority manages the section 8 voucher program and a small portfolio of senior and subsidized units. The waiting list is typically closed and has been for several years. Few. Palandlords are willing to rent to section 8 tenants. The office passes out.lists of other over subscribed rentsl housing managed by Buckelew and EAH. Little help available here!

After lots of back and forth and paper work we were able to get my dad on his government assistance. You will need to be 1: organized 2: on time 3: patient 4: patient 5: creative 6: demanding in order to get and keep your voucher. It s really not in their best interest to keep you on the program, so you must stay with it, stay on them and be perfect with all of your paperwork.

Btw they are only open Mon - Fri 10am - 4:30pm and closed every other Friday see the attached schedule

Good luck my friends, much love.
