Yes, because your voucher will then be based on actual rent instead of the maximum approvable amount.

Do you qualify for section 8 if you make 42000?
The general rule is that your income must not be greater than 40 to 50 percent (determined by the local Housing Authority over that jurisdiction) of the average median income for that jurisdiction. If your rent is a fair market rent in your area, and you are not making at least three times that rent amount by yourself, then you probably qualify for the Voucher.
Can you apply for section 8 twice?
Yes, and many people do this for valid reasons. They may find it difficult to port their original voucher to the new jurisdiction, so it is not uncommon for voucher holders to have their names on the waiting list in other jurisdictions where they can jump to that jurisdiction and use its voucher as opposed to porting their original voucher. You might want to check with that Housing Authority to see if you can use your original voucher to port over to them: they may absorb the cost. If you do apply for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP, formerly the Section 8 Program) anywhere, while you already are in another, you will need to give up the voucher of the old program first. I highly suggest you talk this over with your original Housing Authority as they can help you better through this means.

What is section 8 housing?
Section 8 housing is government subsidized housing for low-income persons. Section 8 Housing is one of two programs: the Voucher program (known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program), and the Public Housing program, which, instead of a voucher, provides a home from a property owned by a Government agency (typically a Housing Authority). In both cases the rent paid by the Tenant is adjusted according to the number of members and income of the family. On the Voucher Program, the more popular type, a voucher is issued by a Housing Authority, which guarantees that the federal Government, HUD, will pay its portion of the tenant's rent (the tenant pays the rest, which is not more than 30 percent of his income). Some rural apartment complexes are financed with Government-guaranteed, low-interest loans and tax incentives to house low-income renters. These complexes, known as Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, have their own programs which allows low-income families to rent their units at a rent commensurate with their income. These are not Section 8 programs but are administered by HUD and USDA, Rural Development. Some urban complexes may have similar programs. Additionally, some states and localities may have their own programs which supplement these federal programs.
