That's just it. This was a $300K+ home in the suburbs. Supposedly, the tenants had put in for the home (not sure where or how it was listed), and the owner couldn't deny them.

Reading the Wiki, I had no idea that the vouchers could be used toward buying a house.
That's what's got me stumped. It's a scary thought that the .gov could just be like, "Hey, you listed your house publicly. You can't deny these disenfranchised folks the opportunity to live well, so they're coming in. Don't mind the broken fixtures or stains everywhere."
