Yes...although it depends on the specific rules of the housing agency involved. Some places ban you if you have a criminal record involving drugs or violence, while others don't. If you just have minor crimes, then you should be fine.

Depends on what the felony conviction is: drug and sex offenses are the two most common disqualifiers for the program, but there are other felonies that can disqualify you as well.
It all depends on what type of felony it is: normally if it's a violent felony, a drug felony, or especially a sex offense for which the person has to register in his state, you can be forever barred from the program.

That person would have to have the felon added to the lease, and the felon has to be approved by the Landlord AND by the Housing Authority.
