Yes, having civil judgments does not disqualify one from section 8 housing vouchers. However, if such judgments are for eviction, that's a different story.

How many judgments are allowed on one bank account?

Unless the bank account was the subject of a lawsuit, there are no "judgments" on the bank account. There are levies that result from unpaid judgments that have had "executions" issued authorizing the attachment of assets of the judgment debtor. There is no maximum number of attachments, although at some point the attachments will exceed the money in the account and those will not be considered "secured" by the attachments. Bankruptcy will allow you to strip away all the unsecured attachments and if you have enough exemptions to cover the balance in the account, you may be able to strip away all or most of the other attachments.
