Nope. I've gotten bad Section 8 tenants. 

They don't work with the landlord and they try to take advantage of the landlord. 

On the other hand housing-first is not just a low income rental program. They work with the tenant and they insure that the tenant is working on his problems. 

With section 8 program they do not work with the tenants after they have gone through an introductory program. And all the worse personal problems come to the fore in dealing with the tenant. 

I have better luck in dealing with tenants who are normal people and don't disrespect and abused others. They follow the rules and don't try to break them. They don't try to take advantage of the landlord. 

My current tenants have been renting over 5 years now and they continue to pay the rent at the first of every month. I sometimes get it in cash. But whether cash or check I get the money.
