Section 8 Odd Dilemma

[Ed O.]

I had a tenant whose 17 year old child was busted at school with a small amount of weed (enough to use, not enough to distribute). I am fairly certain it is the first criminal offense for anyone under the roof of the home.
There's a hearing in a few days to determine if the entire family will be removed from the program.
To add more detail, the child still has not had a court date, been convicted or pled to the charges. I would at least think there would have to be due process before they could be thrown completely out of the program.
It's hard to believe a 17 year old's mistake could get his entire family thrown on the streets.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any experiences would be appreciated
