Okay, we're talking about two different issues: the section 8 housing program, and a felony conviction. Each housing authority has its own rules regarding felony convictions for those who want to apply for the program. Generally, many of the housing authorities will prohibit anyone convicted of a felony of less than five years from receiving a voucher. Federal regulations prohibit those convicted of certain types of felonies from ever receiving a voucher or public housing. These felonies include sex offenses for which a person must register in his state as a sex offender; drug trafficking offenses; violent offenses such as robbery, aggravated battery, etc.; and fraud involving public assistance.
