Bristol Redevelopment & Housing Authority

I moved here from D.C. and stayed in housing for two years before upgrading to a house. The time I was at Johnson Court, I had packages stolen from my porch, faced a roach problem, and dealt with a lot of noise. I reported my stolen items but nothing I moved here from D.C. and stayed in housing for two years before upgrading to a house. The time I was at Johnson Court, I had packages stolen from my porch, faced a roach problem, and dealt with a lot of noise. I reported my stolen items but nothing was done about it since there were no functioning cameras on the property. When I left, I cleared out the apartment (except for a heavy dresser I couldn't move due to my hip) and did my best to clean it. On October 1st, I handed in my keys and was charged more than $100 for the utilities (they bill two months late), cleaning fee (the maintenance men said the fridge and stove were dirty, but they naturally stain with grease, and the fridge was emptied), and turning in my keys. I tidied up as much as I could compared to how other apartments looked in the area (a total mess!) and when I moved in, it was full of dead roaches (some alive). My uncle and I had to get down on our hands and knees to bleach and sweep away the cockroaches. For the nerve of Johnson Court to even send a bill to collections, thus affecting my state refund, is unbelievable! Nobody contacted me to inform me of the charges after I left. I highly advise against staying at Johnson Court! more ... hide ...

I wouldnt advise anyone to transfer your Sec 8 voucher to this particular Sec 8 office as I had exceedingly misfortune while trying to contact my Sec 8 worker to have her transfer my Sec 8 voucher to Charlotte NC close to the entire month of June 201 I wouldnt advise anyone to transfer your Sec 8 voucher to this particular Sec 8 office as I had exceedingly misfortune while trying to contact my Sec 8 worker to have her transfer my Sec 8 voucher to Charlotte NC close to the entire month of June 2011 My son nearly had a nervous breakdown at the end of June plus I also was suffering high stress while staying in a motel the entire month of June 2011 She just could not be gotten a hold of and so the 1st of July 2011 we had to backtrack back to Bristol VA to see her We ended up going back to square 1 to IL Due to her total uncaring and unhelpfulness and stating that it was not her job to be concerned about us after wed left Bristol to stay in a motel we did not get to relocate to Charlotte NC And as a result both of us especially me have been miserable these past more then 5 year period I have become extremely and chronically depressed due to this inept and cold hearted Sec 8 case worker The entire office of staff was probably behind her sabotaging our relocation attempt They care nothing for a persons happiness and wellbeing Another thing about the Bristol VA Sec 8 office is that unless they have changed at the time I lived there they had stupid unhelpful rules for the Sec 8 clients You had to have your landlord tenant papers in by the 20th of the month in order for the landlord to be paid starting on the 1st of the next month Therefore if you turned your papers in on the 21st of the month then the landlord would not receive any rent payment until the 1st of the month following the very next month If you want your voucher transferred to another city youd better make sure you have it sent before you leave Bristol And also about porting to another city Bristol said it was against their rules to fax your papers to that cities Sec 8 office They said they would only mail it snail mail it regular US postal service mail delivery But then for some reason when I made the terrible mistake of transferring back to IL square 1 she my worker said she would email my voucher Yet she wouldnt email it when I tried going to NC Talk about being unhelpful and not trying to get you into housing asap and also to where you really want to port to Im writing this because over 5 years later Im still in an unhappy place and not where I want to be living Should I not gripe And the difficulties are not just with this housing authority Sec 8 but Ive experienced them with other Sec offices as well more ... hide ...
