My future husband is convicted of assault and battery of a child. can he get section 8 housing.
Probably not: felonies against children are often disqualifiers for the program. It is definitely a disqualifier if he has to register as a sex offender in his state. Even if not, this is considered a violent felony. However, every Housing Authority has its own rules regarding convicted felon eligibility. Under federal regulations HA's cannot admit registered sex offenders or those convicted of manufacture of methamphetamines.
No, you cannot receive Section 8 housing if you have a felony. If you are convicted of a crime while on Section 8 housing, you will lose the housing. you can get section 8 as long as the felony 3 years old am I a felon?
It depends on the severity of the felony and if the felon is a registered sex offender. Each housing authority has the right to make its decision on the basis of a felony conviction. But felonies-- except homicides and sex offenses-- of over three years old generally are overlooked.
It is really up to the housing authority at the time of your application. Generally, if you have a felony they will not accept you. If a long time has passed since your felony conviction, they may approve you.
can you get a section 8 with a drug charge in tennessee
Every Housing Authority has its own policies on which they admit those with felony records. By federal law one is banned for life from the section 8 program if he was convicted of manufacturing of methamphetamine or sex offenses. Housing Authority may have its own restrictions which may further ban persons with certain other felony convictions or if they were convicted of felonies within a certain number of years.
Not necessarily: it depends on what type of felony, especially violent ones and sex offenders.
8 hours
It depends on the specific regulations of your Section 8 program. Typically, felons are not automatically disqualified from living with someone on Section 8, but some programs may have restrictions based on the nature of the felony. You should contact your local housing authority to inquire about their specific policies.
