Quality of Standards - Government Vouchers



May 1, 2015 blog:  A meeting was recently held at the Rockland Place dba Spring Gate Apartments Community Room for tenants to bid farewell to one on-site property manager, Janet Hamilton, and to welcome another, Donna Burks-Smith.

There's been talk of an asbestos problem in the drywall throughout this housing complex in Rockland, MA, along with some flooding, pipe leaks, illegal activities, and another death.

It's also been reported to this site that FHRC Management at Clarendon Hill Towers in Somerville, MA may be bugging an apartment on the 12th floor.  Of course, we're unable to confirm this particular story, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time a corporate property manager illegally bugged a low-income resident's apartment.


(Have you been illegally harassed by Management, live-ins, or other residents?   If so, write in and tell us your story.)

Here's a link low-income residents may be interested in viewing:  http://democrats.financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=399001

April 1, 2015 blog note:  Does your place of residence meet the housing quality standards of the Section 8 rental assistance program?  Find out here:  http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=52580.pdf

March 2015 blog note: Is it really true that the housing authority is allowing the increase of rents for Section 8 apartments to be a higher amount, as if  Spring Gate / Rockland Place units were located in Boston, MA?  The cost of apartments used to be at lower rates in Rockland than they were in Boston.  Convenience and access to public transportation in Rockland is poor when compared to that in Boston.

HOMELESSNESS: President's 2016 BUDGET
This plan may help the homelessness problem in America, but does not resolve the crime, corruption and victimization which exists in subsidized housing complexes.

 No security cameras and no police substation ever existed.  Tenants were further traumatized and/or victimized after assaults in darkened common areas.
