[quote=Anonymous]Are there guidelines or limits on the number of voucher residents per building? It seems like having too many voucher tenants per building could be destabilizing. For example, those already living in the buildings may move out, which, in turn, would make more vacant units available for more voucher recipients. Having a limit (e.g, a fixed percentage of units) could perhaps help to stabilize things. This is also driven by landlord greed. They get more $ per unit from voucher recipients than the market rate. The incentive for them is to keep adding voucher tenants. There has been a noticeable increase in violent crime in Cleveland Park/Van Ness/Forest Hills corridor over the past few years. It's quite possible that people will start to move away. Many people moved to these neighborhoods in because they were safe and secure. The residents of these neighborhoods have the means to move elsewhere and don't have to tolerate a decrease in safety and security. [/quote]
