HACLA Warns Against False Housing Vouchers

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, or HACLA, issued a press release on April 7 saying that false information about Emergency Housing Vouchers was circulating on social media. The press release said that there have been events where attendees falsely believed that they would receive such vouchers, including Section 8 or Housing Choice Vouchers. The press release did not give details, but it was referring to a series of events in late March hosted by a nonprofit called Fathers and Mothers Who Care. The organization was only intending to process applications, but a social media advertisement not affiliated with the organization said that it would be giving out vouchers. More than a hundred people came to the events, but left empty-handed.
