Probably because the rules for the section 8 housing program requires you to report the child support payment as a part of your income when it is received.
For income tax purposes on your federal income tax return child support is NOT TAXABLE income that you would report on your 1040 tax form.

Any time you receive any kind of public assistance you need to disclose all kinds of income. Child support is also an income, even though, non-taxable.

If you chose not to disclose the child support and they find out, you'll be responsible for any balances, including being dropped off from the program. Not worth it at all........
