The Hartford Housing Authority administered the local section 8 program in which the plaintiff participated, and the record reflects that Calloway’s contact with the plaintiff was to assist her concerning her housing needs. “Section 8 . . . provides for low-income housing assistance. The purpose of Section 8 is to [aid]‘low-income families in obtaining a decent place to live’ and to promote ‘economically mixed housing’ by providing assistance payments. 42 U.S.C. § 1437f (a).
