The effects of changes in family size or composition are different in the different Section 8 programs.
Not Enough Bedrooms: If the Public Housing Agency (PHA) determines that a unit does is not large enough because of an increase in family size or a change in family composition, the PHA must issue the family a new voucher, and the family and PHA must try to find an acceptable unit as soon as possible.
Too Many Bedrooms: If the rental unit is too large (has too many bedrooms) for the family size because of a change in family size or composition, the family may choose to remain in the unit or find a smaller unit. If the family stays in the larger unit, the Housing Assistance Payment (and thus the Family Rent to Owner) will be based on a Payment Standard based on the family size, not the number of bedrooms in the unit. This means that the family will probably pay a higher rent than the family would have to pay in a smaller unit.
See Family Size and Number of Bedrooms for a table of Family Size versus Number of Bedrooms.
Too Few or Too Many Bedrooms: If the PHA determines that a contract unit is not decent, safe, and sanitary because of an increase in family size that causes the unit to be overcrowded or that a contract unit is larger than appropriate for the size of the family, Section 8 assistance for the unit may not be terminated for this reason. The owner, however, must offer the family a suitable alternative unit if one is available and the family shall be required to move.
If the owner does not have available a suitable unit within the family's ability to pay the rent, the PHA (if it has sufficient funding) must offer Section 8 assistance to the family or otherwise assist the family in locating other standard housing in the PHA's jurisdiction within the family's ability to pay, and require the family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. The family must not be forced to move, nor shall housing assistance payments under the HAP contract be terminated for the reasons specified in this paragraph, unless the family rejects, without good reason, the offer of a unit that the PHA judges to be acceptable.
See Family Size and Number of Bedrooms for a table of Family Size versus Number of Bedrooms.
