Theoretically anyone can apply. But certain types of felonies may not allow those convicted of such to be approved for a voucher per federal regulations or the policy of the local Housing Authority (policies that are approved by HUD). Examples include, but do not limit to: felonies committed less than five years from the last date of incarceration or supervision, whichever occurs later; sex offenders who are required to register in their state; drug traffickers, violent offenders (robbery, agg. assault, etc.); crimes, whether felony or less severe, involving fraud against or involving a Housing Authority or the use of one's voucher, and more.
