Housing options for renters with a criminal record.
A criminal history does not automatically disqualify a renter from federal housing assistance. But more serious offenses may make you inelligible if they were recent.Gordon Gross says:
"The best feature of Affordable Housing Online is being notified by email when a waiting list opens, or is scheduled to do so. I'm very grateful for this website's services."
