Brooklyn, NY — Back in the early 1980s, this reporter worked as a housing assistant, or management assistant, on the “Brooklyn Team” of the New York City Housing Authority’s Section 8 program, a federally sponsored program in which the authority pays part of the rent for low-income tenants in private housing.

In those days, the place was hopping — tenants and prospective tenants came in every day, check after check was sent to landlords, new staff were added constantly out of necessity. Our tenant base had many immigrants, especially from Russia; many minority groups, especially Caribbean and Hispanic; and many, many seniors. Among the “big” Section 8 areas were Flatbush, Bed-Stuy, Coney Island, East New York, Borough Park, Bensonhurst and Brighton Beach.
