I need to consult confidentially with someone with extensive experience helping people maintain Section 8 housing eligibility in New York.
I'm looking for someone with direct knowledge of "If you do <x>, the government will do <y>" for lots of different scenarios.
I don't want to just do a Google search and call random people; I'm hoping for personal recommendations.
Please DM if you can help. Please boost for reach.
Thanks.

"AI disclaimers for readers have been hotly debated in the news industry, with some critics arguing that such labels alienate audiences, even when generative AI is only used as an assistive tool."
Somehow this just reminds me of when people were embarrassed to admit they were paying for Twitter/X.

Penn > Donald J. Trump Station.
Too bizarre to be true? Oh, wait.

Two years after ProPublica first documented New York state’s dire shortage of guardians — and the substandard care some provide — lawmakers are pitching a $15 million-per-year fix.
It’s unclear whether the law has the support of Gov. Kathy Hochul.

New York Homeless Families Placed in Hotels Weren’t Guaranteed Social Services. New Regulations Could Change That.

The proposal follows a ProPublica and New York Focus investigation that found counties had placed thousands of adults and children in often-dilapidated hotels as the main response to homelessness.

"What's happening in #Minnesota is appalling -- and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the DHS spending bill, but because of Republicans' refusal to stand up to President #Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to reign in the abuses of #ICE. I will vote no.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." -- Sen. Chuck Schumer. #NewYork
