Lynn Sullivan, who is going to school part-time and has a one-year-old daughter, must have her parents' income reviewed for eligibility for Section 8. Is this statement true or false?

For an applicant like Lynn Sullivan, who is part-time in school and has a dependent child, the review of her parents' income for Section 8 eligibility is not standard practice. Section 8 is designed to assist low-income households, and typically, only the income of the household members living in the unit is considered.

Generally, if Lynn is applying for housing assistance on her own, her income and that of anyone else who will reside in the unit would be considered, not the income of her parents unless they are also part of the household. This understanding aligns with the essence of how income is evaluated for housing assistance programs, which focus on the immediate household’s financial situation. Thus, the statement that her parents' income must be reviewed for her eligibility for Section 8 is false.
