Stop supporting Dead beat parents

Time for a policy change, Section 8 and public housing provide many individuals and families much needed financial relief, and helps to avoid homelessness, In many cases it also hurts families by providing a safe haven for those running from responsibilities. Currently section 8 housing allows dead beat parents a safe secure place, to avoid paying child support by giving them free or reduced housing with out work requirements. For a small portion of Hud recipients, they are living for years in housing refusing to go to work., or working under the table in order to avoid child support payments. They are living as the head of household and as co-tenets, knowing they will not have to worry about where they will sleep. This is not fair to the children who they have financially abandon. Those who have one parent struggling to keep the basic bills rent and food on the table, these children grow up seeing the value of hard work, but also grow up seeing government agencies assisting those who are allowed use the system to avoid child support. To the office of HUD housing Please for all families stop giving a free ride to those who would refuse to go to work or work under the table and who refuse pay even the basic support to provide for their children. In many states that is only 50 dollars a month, but 50 dollars a month could be grocery money, a new shirt and pants or a coat. It is really not fair for an able-bodied dead beat parent to be allowed to live in housing as head-of- house or a co-tenant receiving steep rental discount or free housing, and be allowed to continue not to pay child support. Please work with child support enforcement on implementing a plan that would require deadbeat parents to go to work or risk loosing their roof. There is no reason for an able-bodied deadbeat parent especially one living on housing to not pay at least the minimum payment. That minimum payment can go a long way in the life of a child.  Please sign and ask HUD to stop supporting Dead beat parrents.

Maybe 1% of the people on section 8 deserve it, the rest are just lazy. Stop section 8 to lazy people which includes dead beat dads and most of the others out there.

Deadbeat parents are deadbeat parents....they don't deserve to be raising children AT ALL. There are so many other people Section 8 could be taking in that will actually go on to do the work required of them. These poor children should be put up for adoption if their parents continue to not work, or the government should help them secure jobs so that they don't make a mistake when trying to figure out who is actually deadbeat or not.
