{| |- | Emancipation is a court order. It gives a minor the right to contract and be responsible for themselves before they reach the age of majority. Only about half the states allow this. |}

An emancipation decree is a legal document issued by a court that grants a minor legal independence from their parents or guardians. This typically means that the minor is considered an adult in terms of making decisions and taking responsibility for themselves.

Is an emancipated teenager eligible for Section 8 housing assistance?

If the emancipation is obtained by the minor on their own rather than a mandated order of the court then the answer is no, they are not eligible. A minor who petitions and receives an emancipation decree must be capable of living on their own without adult involvement, which includes any public assistance. If an emancipated minor finds themselves in a position where they cannot subsist by their own means, the court will revoke the emancipation decree and the minor will be remanded to the custody of juvenile authorities.
