What's the Conspiracy?

WHY HOC CHOOSES TO IGNORE
THE HUD PROGRAM RULES!

The timeline I present is my experience of the violations regarding to the HAP contract between the owner and I, including the PHA (which is the HOC). I attended the HOC meeting regarding to housing quaility assistance on 2/1/12 and HOC pretended to be concern however choose to threaten me by letter on 5/10/12 and 5/22/12. Violating HUD rules 24 CFR 982.310, 455 - Termination of Tenancy by the Owner: Evictions process.

I experience quality of life issues that consists of car vandalism, criminal activity, violence and ceiling leaks. I gave HOC letters and videos while they gave lip service when the cameras was rolling 2/1/12. After the cameras was turned off I received enormous threats from the new CEO and Commissioners. The landlord fabricated by letter dated 4/27/12 that I sublet my apartment and disturb the peace as retaliation&nbsp. This was after I complained about these incidents that violated my rights to decent and safe housing under the provision of the HAP contract and lease. Later, I received a letter from HOC lawyer on 6/11/2012 and the investigative Fair Housing report the owner stated that I didn't breach the lease (but I went to court for a breach lease on 8/1/12 the landlord kept the lie in court). I was threaten to take my voucher away by HOC without valid cause of reasons (or grievance process) that isn't under 24 CFR 982 compliance the process Tenant Evictions or Termination of contract. The landlord never provided an eviction notice however fraudulently charged all these false financial charges against me violating the HAP contract under 24 CFR 982. "The PHA must continue to make housing assistance payments to the owner until the owner has obtained a court judgement or other process allowing the owner to evict the tenant" (Owner breach of contract 24 CFR 982.453).

The owner breach the contract under 24 CFR 982.453 by fabricating (fraud) that I sublet my apartment, failed the obligation to maintain the unit in accordance with HQS & safe housing and provide drug free housing.
In addition, charge me for extra financial charges that the owner not suppose to violating the HAP contract under 24 CFR 982.455, this rule acknowledges that the owner never receive a court judgement and the PHA has to continue to make housing payments to the owner. Now the owner wants me to pay his court and lawyer costs because I filed against his allegations and fabrication that I sublet my apartment.

Questions
Do the residents under the HOC program deserves a decent and safe place to live? Do they have a right to redress government without the threats and retaliation from the PHA's? What makes me different than any other citizens in the Montgomery County, "Is it because I receive government assistance?" Why does HOC desire to discredit me as a working citizen and a college student? Please see this link: A Step Away from Homelessness

HOC believes in Dis-Empowering Tactics

As a former resident advocate and experienced former Board of Commissioners member; my goal was to complete my Master's in Public Policy and seek living wage employment in Maryland. Unfortunately, I haven't been lucky however work as a temporary contract worker and volunteer in community activities.

I am abiding to HUD's program rules by educating myself as a transient participant. HOC is threaten by my knowledge of the HUD's program rules that created an oppressive environment. They rather use the program to "control" me by suppressing my rights, to negatively stereo type and discredit me from what HUD program rules desires "residents participation". HUD is supportive to my goals however HOC (PHA) desires me to fail in my future goals.

I participated in a Housing Conference on May 7, 2012 and

Shaun Donovan , HUD Secretary was the keynote speaker. At the end of the Conference, it was an open forum that I one of the participants. I asked one question regarding to Section 3 program. (This program is a self-sufficiency program that helps program participants to become self sufficient by employment or owning a business.) On May 10, 2012 I received a threatening letter from HOC for participating in the Conference. In their minds they thought that I was exposing their 5 year plan objectives but I was focusing on my own future goals - to work or own a business. HOC was threaten of my participation and interactions in this Conference and my questions to Section 3 program that will assist me to become independent of the subsidy program.

I attended a HOC Commissioners meeting to address my quality of life issues that involves a decent, safe and sanitary housing the meeting of 2/1/12. After the meeting, I had received two troubling, rude and intimidating phone calls that I discovered immediately, "Why there is a a lack of participation by residents". Why residents don't speak about their issues at the Commissioners meeting because of these certain threats of intimidation tactics. Why do HOC desire to promote a homeless situation when a resident complain about my living conditions? Is this HOC common practice to use the HVC program to threaten residents to take their voucher if they complain about a decent, safe and sanitary place to live? This illustrates a basic practice of "social inequality," I clearly understand my place in HOC society.
