Thousands of people waited in line to fill out one sheet of paper.

“We have a large number of people; we expected that,” said Zach Thompson, Dallas County Health and Human Services.

People filling out the form are hoping for a Section 8 Voucher which helps pay for rent.

“It means a whole lot. I don’t have to worry about food being so high and stuff,” said Demetria Osbourne.

Maybe she didn’t hear what the black dude from the County said: the vouchers are ONLY applicable in the next 3-4 years. Not 3 days, not 3 months from now...that’s 3-4 years from now. So much for hopeychangey.

The videos on NBC Nightly News were disturbing. Showing thousands of people running. I thought it was a foreign country - somewhere overseas.

They asked applicants to come to the field house at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex, a school athletic facility

LOL! What did they have to do? Run a 100 yard dash?

The sad part of it is that Dallas is one of the strongest job markets in the USA at the moment.

Good on ya, Demetria. Hopefully you'll get one of these vouchers so you can focus all your resources on being high yourself.

This seems like a scam to me a way to get people on a list of some kind. If the vouchers are not good until 3 or 4 years from today then why would all those people have to fill out the paperwork now alot of things change in 3 to 4
years. Also I find it strange that the people had to line up at 6 am this should be something that a person should just be able to go into the Social Services building and get on the list. Just seems weird to me. Sounds like some kind of voter fraud registration like ACORN.
