Section 8 housing assistance was originally designed as temporary help—a safety net to keep families afloat until they could get back on their feet. But in today’s reality, the program often functions as a permanent system. Many families stay on assistance for years, sometimes decades, and the structure discourages advancement.

In this episode, Jason Grandon of The Grandon Group and Instantrenters.com explores HUD’s proposed reforms to Section 8, including a two-year cap on housing benefits, and why this change could help families grow, create accountability, and strengthen communities.

Jason shares real examples of how the current housing voucher program discourages success—for instance, a tenant who received a $2,500/month voucher for seven years but turned down a raise at her federal job, fearing the loss of her benefits. This isn’t about laziness; it’s about how the system traps people instead of empowering them.

Key Topics in This Episode:

• The original purpose of Section 8 housing assistance and how it’s been lost.
• How long-term vouchers discourage upward mobility and career growth.
• Why HUD’s proposed two-year Section 8 cap could be a positive step.
• Benefits of reform: stability, accountability, and motivation to succeed.
• Perspectives from HUD leadership and reform advocates.
• Ronald Reagan’s insight: “The welfare state is the only thing in government that’s built to destroy itself.”
• The bigger vision: treating housing as a stepping stone to homeownership and independence.

At The Grandon Group, we believe real estate is more than property—it’s about building futures. At Instantrenters.com, we see housing, whether through Section 8 or private rentals, as a launchpad to independence. With the right reforms, today’s renters can become tomorrow’s homeowners—strengthening the housing market and local communities.

This isn’t about politics—it’s about responsibility, growth, and opportunity. By shifting the focus from dependency to independence, Section 8 reform has the potential to transform lives, improve neighborhoods, and build a stronger housing market for everyone.

Closing Thought: Let’s stop seeing housing as a system that holds people down and start treating it as the foundation that builds people up.

Hey everyone, welcome back to The Grandon Group podcast — Arizona’s premier luxury real estate team, bringing you all things home, lifestyle, and yes, sometimes music. I’m Jason Grandon, and today we’re diving into something a little different but totally tied to how we live and love our homes here in the Valley of the Sun.

We’re smack in the middle of summer here in Arizona — which means sunshine, pool days, and those unforgettable monsoon storms. Meanwhile, I know other parts of the country are starting to feel a hint of fall — cooler temps, leaves changing colors. But here? It’s still full-on summer. And that got me thinking… what’s your summer playlist?

Five Months of Jason!

If you know me, you know this is my time. I like to call the next stretch of the year The Five Months of Jason — and no, I didn’t just make that up to hear my name. Okay, maybe a little. But hear me out:

• July
• August
• September
• October
• November

See what I did there? It’s five months of fun, food, family, real estate deals, and getting ready for the most exciting time of the year.

🏡 Why Are The Five Months of Jason So Important?

Because this is when things get real in Arizona.

Fourth of July is coming in hot (literally) with pool parties, popsicles, and those neighbors who totally swear those are legal fireworks.

August brings my awesome son Kalen’s birthday — a guaranteed highlight — and also marks the start of our unofficial countdown to cooler weather.

September 1st should be a national holiday. It’s my incredible, beautiful wife’s birthday, and in our house, that’s a month-long celebration. It’s also the unofficial end of summer (even though school’s been back in session since early August — go figure).

October is when we break out the fall decorations, pretend it’s chilly, and start eating pumpkin spice everything while still wearing shorts.

And then November hits, ushering in Thanksgiving and the ramp-up to the holiday season when Arizona real estate starts to get real interesting.
