If you’ve been keeping up with my Post Housing Voucher Drama posts, you’ll realize that we’re are in the final phases of CityFHEPS housing voucher ordeal because I signed a lease for an apartment on 08/26/25.
My understanding after signing that lease on 08/26/25, was that my CityFHEPS paperwork would be submitted to the city, and if there were any issues/fluctuations in my weekly pay, the city would kick back my paperwork so we can do “rebudgeting” and then resubmit the paperwork
The important thing to remember is that the representation from housing specialist at the facility where I live, was that she DID submit my paperwork. As a matter of fact last week, on my Monday off (09/08/25), I checked with her on this specific issue—whether my paperwork had been submitted to the city—and she said yes. She did however tell me that she thinks my application would be kicked back, and that I needed to submit my 4 recent paystubs so we can do rebudgeting.
So Monday 09/15/25 comes around, and I decide to swing by her office to see whether my application had been kicked back for rebudgeting, right? Guess what she tells me this time? That she hasn’t submitted my paperwork since I signed the lease because I hadn’t given her the paystubs. Can you believe that?😳
Her story just shifted on a dime, from I submitted your paperwork but we may have to do rebudgeting to I’ve NEVER submitted your paperwork.
See what TIs go through? Mfs just playing around with you.😂All this time I’ve been sitting here thinking my CityFHEPS paperwork was submitted right after I signed the lease on 08/26 but nope, the Deep State has just been sitting here running down the clock—and then trying to pin the blame on me.
Obviously if she told me the paystubs were required BEFORE my paperwork was submitted, I would have given them to her on 08/26. She told me the she submitted my paperwork, but we MAY need rebudgeting.
Now it’s my word against hers—you know, the good ol’ plausible deniability. If you know, you KNOW who specializes in that tactic. The important thing is she’s EXTENDED the clock by 20 days.🤔
Anyway today I stepped out of my “gentleman & a scholar” mode and let her know I don’t want to play games anymore. I pulled a Karen move,😂and asked to speak to her boss—and she DID come and talk to me.😳
She assured me that she’ll make sure the rebudgeting happens today 09/15/25. Remember that, because I’m sure we’ll come back here a week after today to find out “Oh, we couldn’t do the rebudgeting because you needed to submit the 4 paystubs and…”😂🖕
I know you are bound to ask, why would they subject somebody to all this back and forth over a CityFHEPS voucher, which is typically a SMOOTH process if you meet all the requirements? Good question, but you’ve obviously been sleeping through the previous lessons.😂. It makes PERFECT sense when you think about it with this, at the back of your mind.🤔
Anyway, stay tuned, folks
