In general, the eligibility for Section 8 housing assistance is based on the total income and household composition, rather than the age of individual family members. When a child turns 18, they may be considered a separate household if they are no longer claimed as a dependent for tax purposes. However, the specific rules can vary depending on the housing authority's policies and the circumstances of the household. It is important to contact your local housing authority for personalized information regarding your situation.

It is possible to lose your Section 8 voucher for a misdemeanor, depending on the severity of the offense. Housing authorities can consider criminal history when determining eligibility for the program and may revoke assistance in certain cases.
You could, but usually not. When people lose their voucher, it's usually because of drugs, or other illegal activity. Actually yes you can if you're being sued for eviction because you owe rent, even if you're on the Voucher or Public Housing program.
It depends on the reason for loosing the voucher, but probably not. Nothing prohibits a person from applying, though.
I have a misdemeanor theft charge which I was convicted of do I lose my section 8 voucher someone please help me out with this
you can't get it back once you lose it..you have to apply it again..all over again..unless the decision that was made to terminate your voucher is reversed later on appeal.
Possibly. Violation of the terms of your Section 8 voucher, which may include committing a felony, can lead to termination of the voucher. It is important to report any changes in your circumstances, such as being charged with a felony, to your housing authority.
In short, yes, you can lose your voucher. Normally you are given 60 days from the date of issue to find a home. If you can't find a home you could ask for an extension for one month at a time, but for no more than two months. This makes it a total of 120 days to find a home.
If you weren't on Section 8 when you were evicted, yes. If you were on Section 8 (now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program) and were evicted because of violation of lease or non-payment of rent, you could lose your voucher, something that your Housing Program Coordinator and his supervisor can decide on a case-by-case basis. Let's clarify that an eviction is not a simple note by the landlord asking you to move: it's a court proceeding petitioni9ng a judge or magistrate to force you to move out.
All child support ends when you lose legal custody of the kid, or if the kid turns eighteen.
You can only lose your section 8 voucher if you violate the terms of your lease, the landlord files eviction proceedings against you, and wins a judgment against you for eviction.
You will continue to be eligible for the voucher program if you continue to meet the criteria of the housing authority that issued the voucher. Your bedroom size for which you are eligible may change according to the family size. For example, if you had a wife and children, and they are now separated from you, you may still use the voucher, provided you meet income and other requirements, but may only be eligible for a one bedroom dwelling.
