Jeff and Margaret qualify for Section 8 housing, a subsidized housing program from the federal government. What kind of benefit are they receiving?

According to the section 8 housing, they pay less money for rent and the rest is subsidized by the government because they are considered by law to be a low income family. The rented apartments that are owned privately get paid for in part by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to make it easier for people with low income to live.
