PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO LOOK AT THE LINK BELOW AND TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF POOR, RURAL FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS FACING HOMELESSNESS!!!!!

At the end of May, 285 recipients of Section 8 rental assistance in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties were notified that as of July 1, they would be terminated from the program. The recipients include families and individuals, the poor, disabled and elderly.
 
This is not an isolated case.
 
Walla Walla Housing Authority in Washington is reporting that it may have to cut up to 150 recipients because of a shortage in HUD funding.
 
The Brevard Family of Housing Authorities in Florida is reporting that it might have to cut 200 to 250 families from the Section 8 program because of the funding shortfall.
 
And in testimony before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity on June 4, Tony Bazzie, executive director of the Raleigh County Housing Authority in Beckley, W. Va., said that his agency is faced with possibly cutting 156 families from the program for the remainder of 2009, starting next month.

Tell HUD, the Congress and the White House that "These families are too big too fail"
