If they are making payments on it- the responsible thing would be to let it go back and put that money towards your family.


Then on the section 8 is housing assistance- it does not encompass other financial assistance towards living- so the fact that they are getting $800 a month in just housing assistance is astronomical.
Some people are ignorant. Some make other choices. Some aren't very smart. Just because you or I think someone ought to do something a certain way doesn't make it so.
