Her entire predicament has exactly nothing to do with the federal government. Nothing whatsoever.
I did a Google search and in less than 30 seconds found ~50 apartments renting for less than $900 in Denver. If the landlords of those apartments wont accept Section 8, then that is their personal business, what with being the owners of the property and all. That's point 1.
Point 2, the federal government has nothing whatsoever to do with housing prices in Denver, CO. Supply & demand plus state and local law govern all that.
Point 3, the federal government does not set the housing voucher rules for the state of Colorado.
Point 4, HUD still pays the states section 8 during shutdowns, based on prior funding and various "as needed" rules already in place.
Point 5, Trump has been President only 2 of the 20 years that woman has been on Section 8.
Point 6, for someone on section 8 for 20 yuears, she seemed to be walking around pretty well, leading me to believe she is capable of working. And if in 20 years she has not been able to succeed beyond needing HUD assistance for rent, then that is 100% on her and has not one f**king thing to do with Trump, Pelosi, the federal government, the taxpayers or anything else besides her and her alone.

To all with common sense, this is an “/end thread” sort of moment.
Sounds like another Buzzfeed moment playing out with this story.
Notice they use the word "could" throughout the story and not will be.
That's on the Oklahoma link.
On the Denver link :
Nothing has changed all that much from 20 years ago. There was a long waiting list then and there still is. I knew two women who were on the list for eight years before moving up and taking advantage of section 8 housing. Both had several kids during that time also and not married. One was Hispanic and one was white, not that it matters. Lease not to me.
Notice the blond mentioned. Salazar sir name is Hispanic but no mention of that OP.
No one is owed housing paid for by money confiscated from others merely because they exist.
Trump didn't get the memo. He's a blonde on the most expensive type of Section 8 we offer, and we will be paying with confiscated money as long as he lives.
What the hell does her being blonde have anything to do with the topic? Sliding in a little profiling, perhaps?
Unless somebody is disabled (and this woman may be, I didn’t watch the video) they have no business sucking up TWENTY YEARS of subsidized housing.
Because she is taking from others, even though she has enough discretionary income to spend on expensive haircuts. Tax payers don't owe her "blone" hair. Instead, she should be using that money to pay her ****ing rent.

If you really feel that way, end the Clintons' and the Obamas' Secret Service details.
Blonde woman in Colorado is desperately seeking a home but having difficulty and may become homeless. After 20 years of being on Section 8, she is facing homelessness as are many others during our current crisis.
I live in Colorado and saw a local news report the other day about people being asked to re-certify for SNAP early due to the shutdown.
One woman - a very put-together, reasonably well-off looking white middle-aged woman - was noted as having received food assistance for twenty years!
She wasn’t blonde though.
Just goes to show, the stereotype of the long-term “welfare” recipient isn’t always what people may believe it to be.
Particularly in flyover states.
I sometimes wonder if the lack of empathy shown by many for those suffering from this shutdown is because so many have convinced themselves that it’s only others, not people like them, who are suffering.
When the “others” are the country as a whole, what then?
Will they recognize themselves and empathize, or will the definition of “us and them” become even narrower?
