                                        ** Beware of Online Scams Regarding HCV Voucher Waitlist **
We have been alerted to a concerning trend involving online scams targeting individuals seeking access to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waitlist. It has come to our attention that an unauthorized entity is falsely presenting itself online, offering a shortcut to the HCV Voucher Waitlist. This scam has evolved, with scammers also impersonating landlords via fake emails and unlawfully soliciting deposits from unsuspecting individuals under the guise of HCV approval. Legitimate access to the HCV waitlist is always processed through official Public Housing Agency (PHA) channels. Importantly, at no point does the process require a financial deposit to secure a place on the Section 8 waitlist. 
1. Official Communication: All official communications regarding HCV waitlist placement will come directly from GFHA. Do not click on links in any suspicious emails or offers.
2. Legitimate PHA Contacts: Verify the legitimacy of any contact claiming to represent the PHA by utilizing the official list of PHA contacts at  https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts. This link is a critical resource for identifying and confirming authentic PHA representatives.
3. No Fees for Waitlist Access: There are no fees associated with applying for or being placed on the HCV waitlist. Any request for money in exchange for waitlist placement or expedited service is a scam.
Reporting Mechanisms: Report your experiences to us and local law enforcement. This information can be invaluable in preventing further victimization. You may also file a complaint with the HUD Office of Inspector General via https://www.hudoig.gov/.
​
Together, we can ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals seeking housing assistance.  Should you have any concerns or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us or your local HUD Field office. We are here to support you in safeguarding the integrity of our programs and the trust of our residents.
