If it’s federal section 8 requirements, then no. Full time students or being under 24 disqualifies eligibility.

  That seems inherently discriminatory based on age and based on what they choose to do with their time and what little money is had by thkse who would otherwise qualify.

    Not providing limited public services to individuals that have other options is the sort of discrimination demanded by taxpayers. Taxing the nearly 2/3 of taxpayers without a degree to fund the housing of university students doesn't seem egalitarian.

      Sounds like investing in upskilling the next generation to me.

    It's a hard problem. Many students have very low income on paper, but also have options that poor non-students don't. There's low-cost housing available only to students. There's parental money - not for all, certainly wasn't for me personally, but for many. There's student loans. It would be unfair to those poor non-students to use the same classification for students based only on their paper income. The exclusions that exist might be imperfect, but they also close loopholes that would defeat the whole purpose of ensuring availability of housing for low-income people in general.
