Public housing officials won't verify whether residents are the truly needy

Washington doesn't know if people living in public housing are needy because local authorities who are supposed to verify income and stop fraud often aren't interested making sure taxpayer money is spent properly.

Under pressure from lobbyists, HUD loosened regulations that had forced local authorities to collect evidence of income. Department officials also moved to let local authorities treat more federal cash as “fees” aimed at making a “profit” so that housing bureaucrats could be paid more, according to an investigation by HUD's inspector general.

The policy of not bothering to make sure public housing is reserved for the poor began when President Obama appointed Sandra Henriquez as the HUD assistant secretary in charge of housing projects.

  2. All you have to do is look at their 50 inch flat screens, $250 shoes, SUV with 20 plus inch rims and gold teeth. Check out their refrigerator. Stocked with shrimp, steak and junk food.

  3. I saw a woman buying steaks and shrimp for new years on the government credit card. She was so proud of herself with that smug smile. I don't mind helping people in need but not for 10 generations.

  4. Until we put limits on how long you can be on welfare, a cap on how many children will be covered and what can be purchased with their cards we will continue to see abuse and long term generational welfare families. If you make it mandatory that they submit to a random drug test and required to work minimum of 20 per week many would not be on welfare. Can't make it a convenient lifestyle. Remind hand up, not a handout. Give a man a fish he'll for a day, teach him to fish he'll eat everyday.

  5. Ha Ha Ha... Look at those Satellite Dishes. I was just thinking today when I went to the post office on Rt. 50 in Salisbury. I noticed a lot of house had satellite dishes and some had 2 or more attached to it. It occurred to me that when a neighborhood gets taken over by Dish networks you have a rental neighborhood with many people on welfare. Your property values have also gone down. There goes the neighborhood!!
