Note: I'm a landlord not a lawyer. I have had some experience with Sec 8 tenants.
Most obvious: notify them in writing that they are violating their lease terms and if the others don't leave within x days, you will start eviction process. Even with Sec 8, the lease still holds like w/anyone else, and people not on the lease living there is a violation that gives you the right to evict unless they remedy the situation. If you want to risk losing your rent payment from the agency, send a copy to the agency. If they fear losing all benefits like their free health care, low cost child care, etc. they may comply ... for awhile.
You could call the government agency in question (the Housing Authority for your county, for instance) and report them. They will be called in for an investigation and may or will lose their eligibility and you will lose your rental payment from the agency as a result after a month or two, but you can at least get them out and you can probably keep their deposit.
IME, when investigated they lie to the agency about the person(s) moving out, or just temporarily show a different address for a month, and then move them right back in when they get their benefits restored or resolved.
You have to decide if you like dealing with this kind of people or not because they are into manipulating the system.
If there are enough people that it's violating county occupancy laws, you could be cited, something else to consider.
