I own rental property and have rented to dozens of people on Section 8. One tenant for close to 20 years. Every month of those 20 years has been through Section 8. Now here is the thing about Section 8. They encourage people to work and like to see proof of effort in finding employment. However, as soon as a tenant finds a job, their housing assistance diminishes in relation to their new income. This de-incentivizes them from working. Literally, the more you work the more you lose. 2 years of guaranteed housing to find a job and gain stability is exactly what the program needs.
