It is up to each housing agency (either a housing authority or a private provider of Section 8 housing) to decide whether they will accept a person with a felony conviction. Some housing agencies will accept you if a specific amount of time has passed since the conviction (for example, no felonies in the past 3 years or the past 5 years) or if it's not a drug/violent felony. You need to check with your local housing authority or with other local providers of Section 8 housing for their rules.
