First of all, I want to apologize for taking a long time to answer this question. But I had to make sure that my answer was correct before I would pass it on to you. Here goes: YES, you can foster children under section 8. What's better than that, is that whatever income from fostering the children does not count against your income for the calculation of rent. This is because foster parents are really not supposed to be paid to foster children: they are supposed to use whatever money is given to them by the State for the child's benefit.
The section 8 program, including the voucher and public housing programs, have nothing to do with foster care children. And foster parents normally do not qualify for such programs, but to be sure you will need to check with your local housing authority.
Each Housing Authority has its own rules regarding this issue. Check with them.
