It depends on the type of housing property, actually. http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudclips/handbooks/hsgh/ is the official website and will provide information, based upon property type. Regarding Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs, per Handbook 4350.3: Chapter 6.6-5 B. Key Requirements under HUD's Model Leases 4. The lease includes language permitting the owner to terminate the lease for drug-related activity and criminal activity. This is the result of regulations effective June 25, 2001, for Screening and Eviction of Drug Abuse and Other Criminal Activity. For more information, refer to the lease and Chapter 8 for information regarding terminations. 8-14 Drug Abuse and Other Criminal Activity 2. Criminal activity. Owners may terminate tenancy for any of the following types of criminal activity by a covered person (a tenant, household member, guest, or other person under the tenant's control): a. Any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents (including property management staff residing on the premises); or b. Any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of their residences by persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises. NOTE: Owners may terminate tenancy and evict tenants for criminal activity by a covered person if they determine that the covered person has engaged in the criminal activity, regardless of whether the covered person has been arrested or convicted for such activity and without satisfying a criminal conviction standard of proof of the activity. 5.

Fleeing to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after conviction for a crime, or attempting to commit a crime that is a felony under the laws of the place from which the individual flees, or that, in the case of the State of New Jersey, is a high misdemeanor; or b. Violating a condition of probation or parole imposed under federal or state law.

The rules on whether a felon can be assisted under the housing choice voucher program are covered by federal regulations, not by state. However, each housing authority may have their own rules - which were approved by HUD - which may be more strict than these federal regulations. Federal regulations prohibit registered sex offenders, violent, and drug felons of less than five years from receiving a voucher or living in a public housing unit.
