Section 8 increases tenant portion by $500

[Joshua Boyce]

Hey Everyone,

I have a new problem I haven't dealt with before and I'm looking for advice. 

I have a section 8 tenant and we both were just informed that the tenant portion is going from $85/month to $585/month. Oh and the letter came one month before the increase. 

She is the best tenant I've ever had. Keeps the place nice, is never late, handles what she needs to on her end for the housing authority and we have a great working relationship. Her situation hasn't changed and she definitely can't afford $585/month. 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? I absolutely DO NOT want her to lose a roof over her head. She's going to the Pittsburgh Housing Authority in person tomorrow, but outside of that, I don't know what our options are. Hoping someone here has some quality advice.

I appreciate any helpful ideas!
