The Cambridge Housing Authority, which employs 160 people, oversees more than 2,700 units of affordable housing in the city and administers Section 8 housing vouchers, which subsidize rent for low-income residents. Though the allegedly stolen funds represent a small portion of the Housing Authority’s $60 million annual budget, the lost money will have serious consequences, said Councillor Brian P.
