Nearly nine out of ten households receiving assistance are supported by three rental assistance programs overseen by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered locally by public housing authorities (PHAs) (see Text Box 1; Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 2022-b). Like other individuals with limited incomes, those with criminal histories may apply forfederally assisted housing to support themselves and their families. Yet the policies of PHAs vary regarding the circumstances under which people with criminal justice histories can obtain and retain public housing. | | | | Date Created: | 03-27-2024 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000106699 Original UID: 213128 FIRST WORD: Criminal | |
