        The Section 8 program is governed by 24 C.F.R. § 983. Under this program—both
at the time relevant to this case and today—rental assistance is “attached to the structure”
rather than individual tenants. 24 C.F.R. § 983.5(a)(1). A public housing agency contracts
with the owner of a building and “makes housing assistance payments to the owner for
units leased and occupied by eligible families.” 24 C.F.R. § 983.5(a)(4).

       According to the HUD tenancy addendum, Nalewaja was also required to pay Hook
& Ladder $22 per month. There is no indication in the record, however, that Nalewaja ever
signed the HUD tenancy addendum, and Nalewaja testified that she “was told I had to pay
zero when I signed the lease.” The district court did not make any findings of fact as to
whether Nalewaja was required to pay any amount of rent to Hook & Ladder.
