When you gave notice to tenant to pay or quit, you should have sent a copy to Section 8 office. When you file eviction, a copy of the paper work should have also been sent. When eviction was granted, copy of that paper work should have been sent too.

With a time line of about a month from start to finish for evicting a tenant, that means you filed in October. That means you may have fraudulently accepted the section 8 rental payment for November? The fact that you accepted both section 8 and the tenants portion of rent payment for November may mean you have now a month to month rental agreement? Or you have illegally evicted the tenant by not following section 8 guidelines for eviction of tenant? Did you meet with the Sheriff Department to change locks on "lock out" date? If not , the Sheriff will return the court order as not exercised? That might explain why the tenants things are still there?
If you have done everything correct, then after the Sheriff lockout, you have to allow the tenant seven days to retrieve their things. But from what you have stated, It looks as if you have failed to do your due diligence in properly notifying section 8 and the courts about the eviction and accepting November rent?

so you will likely have to reimburse them for the rent from the time after November 16th.
