WBSTVA millionaire is living in public housing, and a government audit found that it’s not an isolated incident. The audit found thousands of families are making incomes too high to qualify for public housing.

As they continue getting their rents subsidized with taxpayer dollars, more than a half million poor families are sitting on a wait list with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Officials say those people are in need of the affordable housing, but are denied it because others are taking advantage of it.

The audit found 25,000 families living in low-income housing even though they make more money than the program allows. 

The issue is that families only have to meet HUD’s income requirements to get the housing. Once they’re in, they aren’t required to leave if their income increases.

The audit found a New Bedford, Mass., family that brings in more than $212,000 a year has been living in public housing for more than a decade, and they’re only paying $525 a month in rent. A Nebraska millionaire with assets of $1.6 million is only paying $300 a month for HUD housing there.

U.S. Congressman John Mica runs the House committee in charge of overseeing Housing and Urban Development. “Unfortunately, there are people that game the system,” Mica said.

But HUD officials don’t see it that way. In its official response to the audit, HUD calls the people “model tenants” and role models for other families. HUD also says removing the families could make it harder for them to keep jobs and stay above the poverty line.

OK, let’s start with the obvious question – if you’re making $212,000 a year, why are you living in public housing in New Bedford? Ummmm, there’s a lot of nice towns around New Bedford along the coast where that kind of salary can get you a place that isn’t infested with cockroaches and dooshnozzles.

Here’s what this proves – audits are ALWAYS a good thing. Because this world is infested with incompetence and assholery. If you don’t keep an eye on it, this is bound to happen. The bottom line is, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear about an audit. But clearly there is a lot of shit that we don’t know is going on. This basically proves that the Mosaic audit is justified. Nothing to hide? Cool. Open your books up and we’ll be out of your hair in no time.

    Anyone surprised there is a Honda Civic with a giant wing on the back parked there? Who wants to bet that economy 4 door is driven and sounds like a race car?

      Not surprised about the car being present but there is a conspicuous lack of satellite dishes.

    Simple solution: raise their rent to market rates for comparable but non-subsidized housing. Then the tenants won’t have to be “removed”, though they may decide to move to a better place on their own.

    wait a minute…
    Removing the so-called “model families” would make it harder to keep their jobs?
    What is their definition of a “model family”

    Remember people….

    Government assistance programs are really nothing more than politicians buying votes with your tax dollars.

    Think about it.

    Maybe the government should hand out books like “integrity for dummies” for all these gravy train riders. Government paid stuff should only be used for people that REALLY do need it ! Maybe they should change the name of that street to ” Free shit lane”

    When the Willis Center was audited they found among other expenditures an $800/month lease on an Audi A6 for an employee’s ex-wife. Clearly that money would have been better spent on a 5 series BMW.
