What is Section 8 housing? How do I report fraud? My next door neighbor is a house renter who is committing Section 8 housing subsidy fraud. Also, this possibly includes welfare fraud as well, since nearly all Section 8 housing recipients are also receiving welfare benefits. I live in California. How do I report this and to whom? It saddens me to know some families legitimately need government assistance to keep a roof over their children's heads and my neighbors and horribly misusing a system that I am told has a very long waiting list. As a taxpayer, I refuse to simply "look the other way" and allow this abuse to go unreported. Please help! Any advice or info would be highly appreciated.

Why do people ASSume that people who are on assistance, such as food stamps and section 8 housing, are lazy? A lot of the people that are on those types of programs are single parents who are working hard and trying to support their families, but can't do it on their own... or are in school, etc. No, I am not on assistance, but a lot of people say that the money for these things are coming out of their pocket. Well, so is the money for the war and other things that people disagree with.. at least medical assistance, food stamps, section 8 housing, financial aid for college, etc is HELPING someone! I work and that money "comes out of my pocket" also, but you don't see my crying about it.
