Section 8 eligibility is governed by many different factors in terms of qualifications: the financial qualifications, for example, are that a person or family may not exceed the average median income of 40% of the families of the same size living in the community. The person may not have felony records: that are less than five years old for any kind of felony in most housing authorities; that are less than five years old that involve drug offenses and public assistance fraud; the manufacturing of methamphetamine; and sex offenders that are required to register as such in his state. The person or family may not have been evicted from a public housing unit or any rental property for which the person had a voucher, and must not owe any money to a public Housing Authority. Each Housing Authority has its own rules which were approved by HUD before implementation, which may be more strict than the federal guidelines mentioned above.
