This depends on if you have a pattern of behavior that is consistent with abusing alcohol or other substance. Under federal regulations, one cannot have a section 8 voucher if he is a drug or alcohol abuser, and has a current pattern of behavior of being such. A DWI conviction alone is generally not a disqualifier, unless it is very recent (about two years or less), and the person has a history of alcohol related offenses (open container, disorderly intoxication, public intoxication, and others). However, he can be qualified in his is demonstrating that he is being rehabilitated by virtue of a treatment program related to the substance abuse.
