June Topic & Speaker: Tiffany Askew- Spartanburg Housing Authority
Tiffany Askew is the Housing Choice Voucher Administrator at the Housing Authority of the City of Spartanburg. She has worked in the housing industry for over 20 years, starting at the Northwest Georgia Housing Authority in Rome, Georgia and the Fulton County Housing Authority in Atlanta, Georgia. She holds many housing and property management certifications. Tiffany is passionate about improving the lives of families and committed to providing housing options to families throughout the city and county of Spartanburg.
Tiffany will be speaking about how to become a Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) landlord and the benefits of the program. The Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program is a federal funded program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is the government’s major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments.
