Each Housing Authority has its own rules regarding felony convictions and living in a public housing unit or receiving a housing choice voucher. However, federal regulations prohibit certain felons from ever living in a public housing or receiving such a voucher. Sex offenders, violent offenders, and drug offenders of less than five years, are prohibited under federal guidelines from receiving a voucher or living in public housing.
