Can you rent Section 8 housing to your own family?

I have a home that we're looking into letting our son rent through Section 8. Will this be allowed? And if not could his girlfriend rent and him live there also?

1. have to check with the agency. if his girlfriend is the only one who is on the voucher then your son would not allowed to live there. Section 8 has very strict rules that have to be followed or the person on it will be kicked off. Be careful and check with the local office.
2. You can not rent to relatives. Every adult in the house has to qualify for section 8, so no, he can not live there without committing welfare fraud. You would both serve time for that.
