HUD and the housing authority are not directly responsible for any damages caused by its client tenants. If the tenant damages property, you have the right to evict him just as you would any other tenant. If you take the tenant to court and win the eviction, the tenant will lose his voucher permanently.

Ceiling falls in who is responsible for damage to renters property?
As a general rule, you are responsible for any damage to your property. However, if your landlord knew of problems with the ceiling but did not get them fixed promptly, he may be responsible for the damage to your property. Also, if the ceiling collapse was caused by faulty construction (i.e. the ceiling did not comply with local building codes), you would be able to sue your landlord for failing to keep the property up to building code. Finally, since landlord-tenant laws vary from state to state, your state may have a specific law that holds your landlord responsible for the damage. You should immediately see a tenant's rights agency or landlord-tenant attorney who can review your specific situation.
