SCAM!!!!!! Attention Housing Choice Voucher Applicants
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) alerted us to a concerning trend involving online scams targeting individuals seeking access to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waitlist. It has come to our attention that an unauthorized entity is falsely presenting itself online, offering a shortcut to the HCV Voucher Waitlist. This scam has evolved, with scammers also impersonating landlords via fake emails and unlawfully soliciting deposits from unsuspecting individuals under the guise of HCV approval.
Please note that legitimate access to the HCV waitlist is always processed through an official Public Housing Agency (PHA). Importantly, at no point does the process require a financial deposit to secure a place on the Section 8 waitlist.
- Official Communication: All official communications regarding HCV waitlist placement will come directly from a Public Housing Authority (PHA). Please verify any suspicious emails or offers.
- Legitimate PHA Contacts: Please verify the legitimacy of any contact claiming to represent a PHA at https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts. This link is a critical resource for identifying and confirming authentic PHA representatives.
- No Fees for Waitlist Access: There are no fees associated with applying for, or being placed on, the HCV waitlist. Any request for money in exchange for waitlist placement or expedited service is a scam.
If you were targeted by scams , please report your experiences to Delta Housing Authority and to local law enforcement. This information can be invaluable in preventing further victimization. You may also file a complaint with the HUD Office of Inspector General via https://www.hudoig.gov/.
Your cooperation and proactive engagement are crucial in protecting our communities from these malicious activities. Together, we can ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals seeking housing assistance.
