Housing?

It does not mean the government pays all the bills. It is about housing. Section 8 is the Housing Choice Voucher Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It provides rental assistance for low income households that qualify. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/housing_choice_voucher_program_section_8

What does this have to do with a tourist visa though? Someone wants to get married and found out the fiance(e) has their rent subsidized. Okay so, why is that such a problem? What immigration process would this be related to?

What to do about what?

He can not live with her without disqualifying her from Section 8. She has to report all adults living with her for Section 8. Since he is a disqualified person, she will lose her Section 8.

If the want to adjust his status for a green card, then they will need a Joint Sponsor for the I-864.

And, this is true if he lives with her, whether they get married or not. I believe (although not 100% sure), that even with a joint sponsor, he will not be able to live with her in Section 8 housing. The sponsor could be held responsible for repaying the means-tested portion paid for by the US government.
