[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP is incorrect. People are allowed to self certify in DC without ID. Upper NW has an area in which vouchers are funded at 187% of HUD market rate, highest in the nation.[/quote] They’re a windfall for shady landlord investors. When a unit is covered by a voucher it automatically loses it rent controlled status. So greedy landlords enjoy the cash windfall, reduce rent-controlled restrictions, and watch as longtime tenants on low or fixed incomes leave because of some of the social challenges resulting from concentrations of voucher tenants in the building. In a few short years the investor landlord can redevelop the building as upmarket housing and has been paid handsomely by the taxpayer in the meantime.[/quote]
