What are the felonies charges would not allow to live in section 8 housing?

Good question! Every Housing Authority has its own rules by which they select tenants to offer assistance to. The general rule of most Housing Authorities are that if you have felony convictions of less than five years than the Housing Authority will reject you. Most housing authorities have rules which ban anyone convicted of drug trafficking, regardless of the age of the conviction. This may also be true of other violent offenses and of any fraud that involved the section 8 program, regardless of age of offense. Now, here are two offenses that, under federal law, will ban anyone from the section 8 program permanently: anyone convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine, and anyone who must register as a sex offender.
