Yes...if you are a convicted felon and reside in Pittsburgh PA, and your felony record is greater than 5 years old, you are eligible to apply for Section 8 housing.
99% Yes for knives, especially if it is work related. For example a roofer with a sheathed folding knife - in public, on the job. There may be specific parole regulations to follow that will vary from case to case. Contact the PA bureau of Prisons for specifics.
I suspect that occupation MAY be licensed by the state. If so, contact the licensing agency and ask if you are eligilbe to be licensed. If you are unable to be licensed perhaps you can be an employee of the company and work under the supervision of a licensed agent.
There is not a statue of limitations for a felon possessing a fire arm anywhere in the country. This is against federal law.
