President Barack Obama and Housing Secretary Julian Castro Hillary’s rumored running mate, Housing Secretary Julian Castro, is cooking up a scheme to reallocate funding for Section 8 housing to punish suburbs for being too white and too wealthy. The scheme involves super-sizing vouchers to help urban poor afford higher rents in pricey areas, such as Westchester County, while assigning them government real estate agents called “mobility counselors” to secure housing in the exurbs. Castro plans to launch the Section 8 reboot this fall, even though a similar program tested a few years ago in Dallas has been blamed for shifting violent crime to affluent neighborhoods. It’s all part of a grand scheme to forcibly desegregate inner cities and integrate the outer suburbs. Anticipating NIMBY resistance, Castro last month threatened to sue suburban landlords for discrimination if they refuse even Section 8 tenants with criminal records. And last year, he implemented a powerful new regulation — “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” — that pressures all suburban counties taking federal grant money to change local zoning laws to build more low-income housing (landlords of such properties are required to accept Section 8 vouchers). Castro is expected to finalize the new regulation, known as “Small-Area Fair Market Rents” (SAFMR), this October, in the last days of the Obama presidency. It will set voucher rent limits by ZIP code rather than metro area, the current formula, which makes payments relatively small. For example, the fair market rent for a one-bedroom in New York City is about $1,250, which wouldn’t cover rentals in leafy areas of Westchester County, such as Mamaroneck, where Castro and his social engineers seek to aggressively resettle Section 8 tenants. In expensive ZIP codes, Castro’s plan — which requires no congressional approval — would more than double the standard subsidy, while also covering utilities. At the same time, he intends to reduce subsidies for those who choose to stay in housing in poor urban areas, such as Brooklyn. So Section 8 tenants won’t just be pulled to the suburbs, they’ll be pushed there. “We want to use our housing-choice vouchers to ensure that we don’t have a concentration of poverty and the aggregation of racial minorities in one part of town, the poor part of town,” the HUD chief said recently, adding that he’s trying to undo the “result of discriminatory policies and practices in the past, and sometimes even now.” A draft of the new HUD rule anticipates more than 350,000 Section 8 voucher holders will initially be resettled under the SAFMR program. Under Obama, the total number of voucher households has grown to more than 2.2 million. The document argues that larger vouchers will allow poor urban families to “move into areas that potentially have better access to jobs, transportation, services and educational opportunities.” In other words, offering them more money to move to more expensive neighborhoods will improve their situation. But HUD’s own studies show the theory doesn’t match reality. President Bill Clinton started a similar program in 1994 called “Moving to Opportunity Initiative,” which moved thousands of mostly African-American families from government projects to higher-quality homes in safer and less racially segregated neighborhoods in several counties across the country. The 15-year experiment bombed. A 2011 study sponsored by HUD found that adults using more generous Section 8 vouchers did not get better jobs or get off welfare. In fact, more went on food stamps. And their children did not do better in their new schools. Worse, crime simply followed them to their safer neighborhoods, ruining the quality of life for existing residents. “Males … were arrested more often than those in the control group, primarily for property crimes,” the study found. Dubuque, Iowa, for example, received an influx of voucher holders from projects in Chicago — and it’s had a problem with crime ever since. A recent study linked Dubuque’s crime wave directly to Section 8 housing. Of course, even when reality mugs leftists, they never scrap their social theories. They just double down. The problem, they rationalized, was that the relocation wasn’t aggressive enough. They concluded they could get the desired results if they placed urban poor in even more affluent areas. HUD recently tested this new theory in Dallas with disastrous results. Starting in 2012, the agency sweetened Section 8 voucher payments, and pointed inner-city recipients to the far-flung counties surrounding Dallas. As government-subsidized rentals spread in all areas of the Metroplex (163 ZIP codes vs. 129 ZIP codes), so did crime. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development used Dallas as a test — and the city is now experiencing much more violence. Now Dallas has one of the highest murder rates in the nation, and recently had to call in state troopers to help police control it. For the first time, violent crime has shifted to the tony bedroom communities north of the city. Three suburbs that have seen the most Section 8 transfers — Frisco, Plano and McKinney — have suffered unprecedented spikes in rapes, assaults and break-ins, including home invasions. Although HUD’s “demonstration project” may have improved the lives of some who moved, it’s ended up harming the lives of many of their new neighbors. And now Castro wants to roll it out nationwide. Soon he will give Section 8 recipients money to afford rent wherever they choose — and if they don’t want to move, he’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse. Ironically, Hillary’s own hometown of Chappaqua is fighting Section 8 housing because of links to drugs and crime and other problems. This is a big policy shift that will have broad implications, affecting everything from crime to property values. And it could even impact the presidential election, especially if Castro joins Hillary on the Democratic ticket.

The areas that they're currently in HAD access to jobs, transportation, serv services and educational opportunities until they f**ked it up with drugs, crime and arson. They're like locusts. After destroying one area they want to move on to destroy another.
This is all part of an effort to hide the FACT that blacks and browns are responsible for over 90 percent of the violent crime in this country. They figure that if they shift the hood to the white suburbs,nobody can claim hoodrats are responsible for all the violent crimes "because look at all the violent crimes in white communities like Westchester!" Plus the base fact that Bathhouse Barry hates any whites that aren't young males in a bathhouse. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
This is all about hiding black crime rates by mixing them in with majority white communities. It won't be long before news reports will be banned from mentioning the names of crime suspects with "ethnic names" as being racist. Most don't do it now based on their own prejudices,but soon it will be feral law. We are all just supposed to ignore the criminality of the black minority,and hope it just goes away after their forced re-settlement within white communities. And you can bet your bippy the feral prosecutors in those districts will be ready to jump in with hate crime indictments for any whites that fight back or actually kill a black attacker.

As Georgie Bush would say, they bring vibrance to the neighborhoods.
Should be edited thus: Castro plans to launch the Section 8 reboot this fall, There, fixed it. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD . . . " ~Psalm 33:12a
This is no different to the Federal and NY State housing projects of the 70s. They built high rises smack in the middle of middle income neighborhoods (not liberal wealthy ones have you). Since most people who lived there did not pay their own rent they did not respect the property and thus vandalism and theft. This was in lower Westchester county NY in the 70s. End result was the destruction of neighborhoods where Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants settled after moving up the social ladder. Crime and drugs. The local schools became graffiti laced and second generation American business owners closed shop and moved to the north part of the city as did the sons and daughters of the European immigrants. The social test failed. I know. The state built one of those high rises smack in the middle of a heavily Irish and Italian neighborhood where my parents and grand parents lived. We had aunts and uncles a few blocks away. Blue collar hard working folks raised by parents or grand parents from the old country. It took no more than 5 years to realize their property values sank deep and most including my parents cut their losses and moved. Within weeks of the project occupied my bike was robbed and my sister and her friend harassed walking to school. She was 9 and I was 5. We started hearing police sirens just about every night and stopped sitting on the front porch on summer nights. I remember how fumed my grand father got when his front lawn was trashed by kids walking home from school to the projects. So Odinga wants to reinstate another failed policy because he knows it was successful in destroying a piece of the American heart.
And Westchester is to again be the laboratory of social experimentation. Rob Astorino has done a good job so far fighting off the hordes . But again the Federal Government has it's eyes on the country . I wonder if the new Sec 8 will be built by the stately home of the Clintoons in Chappaqua ?

even though BECAUSE a similar program tested a few years ago in Dallas has been blamed for shifting violent crime to affluent neighborhoods. Nothing succeeds like success
