Is an emancipated teenager eligible for Section 8 housing assistance?

If the emancipation is obtained by the minor on their own rather than a mandated order of the court then the answer is no, they are not eligible. A minor who petitions and receives an emancipation decree must be capable of living on their own without adult involvement, which includes any public assistance. If an emancipated minor finds themselves in a position where they cannot subsist by their own means, the court will revoke the emancipation decree and the minor will be remanded to the custody of juvenile authorities.
