Answer
In general terms you are not allowed to live in more than one apartment under the section 8 program, now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). The purpose of the HCVP is to ensure that families, disabled persons, and elderly persons with extremely low to medium income to receive decent, safe, and sanitary housing. If you sign a lease for another apartment you are violating the rules of the housing choice voucher program -- unless it is your intent to move out of the original apartment after your first year and with proper notices.
If the purpose of cosigning a lease is simply to ensure that your friend or family member gets an apartment you are stating that you will be equally responsible for any damages which may occur as your friend or family member would. If you are not going to live in that apartment you should not be signing a lease!
