If I receive Section 8, should I contact them when I have a problem in my home?

Tenants should contact the landlord first and allow a reasonable time for the problem to be addressed. If it is not addressed satisfactorily, the tenant should contact the Housing Authority (HAWS) for assistance. If the issue is still not resolved, the tenant should contact the Human Relations Department.
