Maryland Housing and Community Development is warning of an online scam by an entity posing as DHCD falsely claiming to administer the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.  Shared on Facebook, the scam depicts a printed flyer announcing the opening of a waitlist for specific properties as part of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. It encourages residents to provide personal information through a fraudulent link or to visit DHCD’s Lanham headquarters. This advertisement was not created or shared by DHCD, and DHCD  does not endorse any such solicitation.
