Question: my fieance has a felony and we are trying to find an apartment to move in to but we've been denied 3 times, is there a place we can go that offers placement help for felons, or at leatst a list of places that accept them?

Answer:

Please visit the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness website that lists housing that will accept ex-felons. Having a felony conviction does limit the housing choices available.

i am also a felon and i just got my first apartment less than 1 month ago. tell me about a struggle!!! youre lucky you only got denied 3x. i went to & called over 95 apartments! no exaggeration! all i could wonder was where the little felon community lived! they must all be in one apartment complex. anyways i live in arizona i dont know where you live-if it happens to be in arizona write and ill give you plenty of apt finder's. there are ways to get help. most are free of charge. also easiest way=if she is on probation-have her po help her

Some landlords do not ask about criminal history on their application. They usually check credit history. On the application, say that you will answer this question in person. Explain your situation in person. Also offer any evidence of rehabiliation.
