Each Housing Authority has its own rules regarding selection of tenant with felony records. It largely depends on what type of felony and the age of the conviction. They may reject convicted felons altogether or they may reject the drug and violent offenders, regardless of the age of offense. Under federal law, those convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine and those who have to register as a sex offender are automatically banned from the housing choice voucher program (section 8) or any other housing assistance programs.
They can VISIT, however, depending on certain regulations that may be in effect governing Section 8 housing, they may not RESIDE there, even "temporarily."
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.
This depends on the felony or felonies the individual was convicted of and the age of that conviction. Each housing authority has its own right to make rules regarding the criteria for selection with regard to felony records. Normally, drug offenses are excluded as are other violent crimes, especially within the past five years of being released from prison or probation, whichever occurred later. Under federal law, anyone convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine or any sex offenses for which the individual must register as a sex offender, are automatically excluded from the voucher program or any other Housing Authority program. Some Housing Authorities will exclude drug and violent offenses regardless of the age of offense.
