Applicant is Section 8 but has low monthly income...

I have an applicant for a rental, single mother with 2 kids. She qualifies for Section 8 but her monthly income is far less than 3x the monthly rent. I know Section 8 should guarantee rent gets paid on time each month, but I worry about her having the money to actually care for the property and yard while she's there. No past evictions and clean criminal background. Has anyone had a similar situation? How'd you handle it?
