Phone and office responsiveness issues

Many reviewers report calls go unanswered or the office is closed when they go in.

Several reviewers describe the phones as not being answered, voicemail not being returned, or the office being closed even when they expected it to be open.

Across these comments, frustration centers on repeated attempts without timely communication or follow-through.

Some reviewers mention that key items like rent increase processing, re-certification timing, and submitted paperwork were not handled promptly. Others describe paperwork getting lost or not being verified after they submitted requirements.

Helpfulness from staff and maintenance

A separate set of reviewers say they had positive experiences with staff, describing respectful communication and willingness to answer questions clearly. A few also specifically call out maintenance workers who did good repair work after receiving requests. These comments suggest the day-to-day experience can be very different depending on who you interact with and the situation you’re in.

Wait list and limited funding concerns

Reviews frequently point to long wait times and limited program availability.

Several people report waiting many years for help, including long stretches on a wait list. Others mention limited funding or inefficiency, describing multi-year waits as a common outcome for low-income applicants. Taken together, the reviews portray access as constrained even for households actively trying to apply or re-certify.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Eligibility and program abuse debates

Some reviewers question whether assistance is getting to the people who need it most.

A recurring thread is skepticism about eligibility decisions, with comments alleging that the program helps people who they believe don’t truly qualify while others who are struggling are denied. Several reviewers also describe concerns about program misuse or fraud going unchecked. Whether the criticism is about fairness, enforcement, or accountability, it shows up consistently as a reason for disappointment.
