What is Fraud?

Here are a few examples of fraud:

  • Family has undeclared income or assets.
  • Family uses false documents, such as false birth certificates or marriage licenses.
  • Violations of the Law committed by participants of BHA's Housing Programs.
  • Family subleases all or part of the unit.
  • Family owns or has an interest in the unit.
  • Unit is occupied by both the owner and family.
  • Owner charges/collects additional payments from the family not agreed upon in the lease.
  • Owner knowingly accepts Housing Authority payments for a vacant unit.
