Program Description
The housing choice voucher program provides assistance to very low-income families to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Housing can include single-family homes, townhouses and apartments and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects.
General Program Requirements
Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs). A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.

Atlantic City Is No Longer Safe: Bring Back The Dogs!
|
| Category: | Organizations - Community Organizations |
| Description: | The following are excerpts taken from several articles appearing in The Atlantic City Press: The Langford administration sidelined the Atlantic City Police Dept K9 unit on Monday August 24,2009. This action not only puts the officers lives at stake, but also puts the public's safety at risk. Business Administrator Michael Scott ordered Police Chief John J. Mooney to indefinitely cease the use of police canines. Mooney said the directives are solely an attempt to politically attack him and his department. He said Monday he plans to sue the city, claiming the mayor does not have the authority to interfere with the department's daily operation. Mayor Lorenzo Langford issued the order to halt the use of patrol dogs. The administration contends that police dogs deserve to be caged based on almost daily complaints to the mayor's office from residents alleging police handlers are directing the dogs to use unnecessary force. "We cannot continue to act as though we are disregarding the slew of complaints that have come in. Some of these complaints have been crazy," said Langford's spokesman, Kevin Hall. Experts say police dogs are indispensable, reducing the risk of harm to officers and saving government money because they cost little to maintain. _______________________________ So, the criminals in Atlantic City are complaining that they are being bitten. If they weren't committing a crime, maybe they wouldn't have been bitten. It's no secret that Atlantic City is a high crime city and the worst offenders are the residents. The city claims to have had multiple complaints from said residents. So let's see them! The point here is that without these dogs, how safe do you feel in Atlantic City now? Criminals are more fearful of being bitten by a police dog then they are facing an officers gun. Which brings up the reality that instead of surrendering because of the presence of a dog, the suspect is more than likely going to flee, or draw a weapon. Which puts the life of an officer (not to mention an innocent bystander) at risk . Go ahead, walk the boardwalk with your family. Head to the casinos. Visit the shopping areas and restaurants. But don't expect a K9 presence to make you feel safe. Because they are all home in their kennels. Still feel safe going into Atlantic City? Here's a small taste of things to come: (Source AC press article) "there were two incidents in the last two days that would normally require canine support. One involved an open door after hours at Texas Avenue School and the other a potential crowd-control situation with members of the United Auto Workers at Bally's Atlantic City. More of those situations will come. When they do,they will end badly if Atlantic City keeps their police dogs caged. Bad things are going to happen in the future, let's put it that way. Some humans are going to get hurt. The real reason we have these dogs is to transfer as much risk on to the dogs as possible, minimizing the risk to our officers." Want to help do something about it? Call or write the mayors office and demand the return of the K9 unit. Atlantic City Mayor's Office 1301 Bacharach Blvd # 706, Atlantic City, NJ 08401 (609) 347-5400 Or you can fax a letter to: (609) 347-5638 Help the citizens and visitors of Atlantic City to feel safe again. And tell the mayor you will not patronize the city again until the dogs are returned. Hit em where it hurts! In their greedy little pockets! |
