Can you receive a section 8 voucher if you had a simple assault charge in 1998?

Having a simple assault charge from 1998 may not automatically disqualify you from receiving a Section 8 voucher, as eligibility criteria can vary by local housing authority. However, criminal history will be considered during the application process, and each case is evaluated individually. It is recommended to provide full disclosure of your criminal history and discuss your specific situation with the housing authority.
