May lose section 8 voucher
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:53 am
Good morning All,
My name is Carlita and I am sending this email on behalf of my aunt Jacqueline and her daughter Octavia, who are in danger of losing their housing from section 8. It was brought to my attend that my aunt has a Pepco bill for over $9000 and in desperate need of emergency assistant. My aunt is one of many very low income residents that live in Ward 8 and has been having a very hard time keeping up with her bills needed for her to keep her section 8 voucher. My aunt has a very serious medical condition where her blood gets infected very easily and has a bad thyroid condition that at time causes her to not be cohering at time and she had this very rare blood disorder also. Pepco has turned off their electric and we all are trying very hard to get her some emergency assistant as to she has grandkids 1 years old, 2 years old and 5 years old that live there (no one is staying in the apartment sing the power is off).
We have called everyone on the list that helps with utility bills and no one is able to assist her at all they all are saying that they don't have any money at all. I’m sure that there is something that you all can do to help out my aunt and her family I don't want her to lose her Section 8 voucher over this as to if they do they all will be homeless. So I am writing this email to see if you all can help out in any way possible.
I am sure DC government can help her in some way or if you all know of any other places that are not on the list of help can you please provide it to me ASAP and to it is about to get very cold outside that is no way for anyone to live and I do understand that she should have been paying the bill. I totally get that but when your rent is high, you got gas to pay food to buy since they cut her food stamps and all you get a month is $700 from SIS-disability. I know she got assistants for $1300. Why did Pepco let that bill get so high before they came to cut it off? Why they never called to say anything before she loses her section 8 HUD voucher.
