The woman that is in charge of the building said because they also take section 8 in this particular building, they are required to get a ss number and a birth certificate to verify. I asked how long you hang on to the documents after verification. She said they can keep them up to three years. I said what if someone breaks in. She said they could break in to the building but the files are locked. I just thought...are you insane? A birth certificate AND a ss #...we all could have new identities. She said that is the way they do it in Chicago...I could say something political here but don't want to be sent to the posting corner.
