Section 8 and Felonies of any type don't mix
I had a client today, a veteran, that accepted a Deferred Adjudication for a marijuana felony almost 18 years ago. I started looking for places he would "spend" his Section 8 voucher. I called 20 places. Only 2 would accept him.
People will tell you the DA is a better solution and it doesn't carry the stigma of a Felony conviction. Well in the apartment leasing world - that's not true. I think it stinks.
But at least I was able to help this vet out.
