Your added member must be approved by your Landlord, which, in this case, is the Housing Authority that owns the public housing complex. Your added member must apply to the HA and be approved before they can live in the home.

Can you break an apartment lease agreement if there is domestic violence involved in the household?
This will depend on one, whether or not you live in public housing (section 8/HUD) and two, what state you are in. If you live in public housing, VAWA allows you to break your lease without any penalties. If you are not in public housing, this will depend on your state. You may want to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can direct you to an advocacy group in your state that can help you with the process and answer any questions.
Can you force your landlord to add your same-sex spouse to the lease?
It depends what kind of lease you have. New York City is an example of a jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is legal. If it is a rent-controlled or rent-stabilized apartment, you are entitled to add your same-sex spouse to any lease renewal and there is no mechanism by which the landlord may object. If you live in public housing (e.g. NYC Housing Authority), a same-sex spouse is treated the same as any other spouse and may be added to the household providing there is no violation of regulations concerning criminal records, substance abuse or citizenship. If you live in any other type of apartment (i.e. "fair market" housing), then the answer is no. Your same-sex spouse certainly has a right to live with you. However, the lease is whatever it is. You cannot force the landlord to add anyone to the lease and if he agrees to alter the lease, it is a new lease and the rent can also be re-negotiated. As with all apartments outside of rent control and public housing regulations, when the lease is over, there is no automatic right to renewal.

What are some problems with section 8 housing?
Actually, there isn't that many problems with section 8 housing. Those who were on the voucher program or public housing have much higher standard of living than those who are not assistant in the program. This is because any violation of the lease or the law while on the program can result in permanent ban from the program. Living on section 8 for some people have a certain stigma: it is most certain that they are on a low income, typically disabled or elderly, or having some type of dysfunction: a disabled family member, multiple children, etc. And one of the biggest problems is when a voucher holder allows someone who is not in the program, often a convicted felon, to reside with that family undetected.
