This depends on what you mean by section 8 housing. There are two main types of section 8 programs: project based, and tenant-based. In the case of the former, this is usually public housing, where the property is owned by the housing authority and the section 8 program is administered to anyone living in public housing. Typically those tenants are not entitled to move to other property.

In the case of the latter, families are issued vouchers which can be used for assistance in renting property from private landlords who participate in the program. Other benefits that may be given to families who are on section 8 or public housing include educational programs, programs for self-sufficiency, and access to food banks and clothes banks for low-income families.

Benefits to the landlord include a guarantee that the portion of the rent that is paid by the government will be paid every month to them like clockwork. That amount of money, known as housing assistance payment, or HAP, comes to them even if the tenant doesn't pay his portion of the rent, wherein the landlord can still take legal action to evict. Furthermore, section 8 tenants, many who are disabled or elderly, tend to stay longer on the property, thus take care of the property and stay out of trouble. they are likely to pay their portion of the rent on time, as opposed to traditional renters.

To qualify for any type of Housing Assistance you do not have to be receiving any type of Government benefits. Statistically, however, most recipients of the voucher program or public housing or receiving some other type of government assistance. But that in of itself does not mean that the person must be receiving that type of assistance.
