Sec 8 normally requires a LEASE. When you signed the agreement to accept Sec 8 payments, methinks you signed a lease as well. Check it out first before you give her any sort of notice. Feel free to call the local agency which handles Sec in your area for further guidance.
If she truly is MTM, then you simply send her a letter at least thirty days in advance of the date you wish to have her vacated (remember that MTM tenancies are considered as full months, so you need to do this according to your state laws) telling her that her tenancy is terminated. You need not give her a reason if you do not wish to.

Why are you giving a 30 day notice? If she has a lease and is paying, you have to have a good reason to force her out. It can be something she has voilated in the lease, such as allowing another person to live there or having a pet when no pets are allowed. But you have to know what your state and local laws are as well as they vary from state to state and city to city. In Illinois the procedure is you first give them a 5 day Quit or Correct/Pay Order. They have five days to correct the problem. If they do, you cannot do anything. If they don't then you file for eviction and do through the process. If the tenants lease is up then you can rightfully give a 30 day notice with no reaons.

read your lease agreement (even tho it's expired). It will tell you how much notice you need to give the tenant.
By all means, give notice in writing. If they don't live nearby, mail the notice with return receipt requested. Costs a bit more, but you will have a signed receipt indicating that they got the notice.
It shouldn't matter that they're on Sec. 8.
