The occupancy standards are not covered by the section 8 program. They are governed by local building codes and ordinances. And generally, the Housing Authority will ensure the proper occupancy standard for that particular household. The general rule is that there are no more than two people per bedroom. The exception to this is that a child of over 10 years of age can have his own bedroom if the other child is of opposite gender. Two teenage brothers, for example, may not have their own bedrooms.
