Families are stuck in shelters or sleeping in their cars while a flawed state selection process and meager funding for renovations leave apartments empty for years.
Can confirm, I deliver to some apartment buildings that are 55+ Section 8 and out of the 32 apartments 4 are vacant, 3 of which have been for well over a year. The others are folks that have been there for years, but I’m sure if they moved or passed on their old place would have the same fate.
But the towns housing department doesn’t have enough people for maintenance, yet they make all this money regardless of occupancy.

The phrase “Starve the beast” comes to mind
In Mass? This is textbook incompetence, not planned starvation.
Yeah I wondered about that. Not sure which is worse tbh
