Asking tenant to apply for section 8 or housing voucher? Michigan

[Marcello Miranda]

has anyone asked their tenants to apply for a housing choice voucher or section 8 program while they are currently living in your property?? 

I have a fixed income tenant who has been living at the property for about 20 years. they came with the property when I bought it. I'm looking to increase the rent to market rates sometime in the next year. I currently have a month to month lease. I'm trying to make a win win situation for the both of us. I've owned the property for about a year now.

i don't really want to displace the person but I am running a business. I would like some advice from the group.
