Section 8

Hi everyone! I have a long question here concerning my rental in Indiana. My home is currently empty. I would like to sell or rent it to my sister. She is 67 and receives Social Security benefits---her only income. She currently lives in an older mobile home (paid for) and my home would be such a wonderful upgrade for her. Her net income monthly is $1,412.00. She is on medicare and qualified for state help with medical expenses etc. I rent my home for $800.00 monthly. Is it possible for us to get her section 8 help with the rent based on her income and my home on section 8?----If she purchased the home, what kind of help --if any--could she get and where should she apply?  Also, does anyone know if buying a home would affect her state help she receives on medical?  I would SO appreciate help any of you could give me on this!!! I would love to help my sister move from that mobile home park into my nice little SAFE home!!  

Thank you!!
