Section 8 applicant on Gov assistance question

I got an application from a nice young woman with a Section 8 voucher. I haven't done a Section 8 in about 10 years and I inherited that tenant (no problems with him or Section 8.) This woman is also on public assistance which is what she will use pay her portion of the rent plus she has food stamps. Is this normal? She was living with her dad who had the voucher but passed away recently so they let her take over the voucher. She has no job but is going to tech school and already has $14k in school loans with late payments. Am I being stupid even considering her and using my heart over my head?
