[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friendship Place put someone released from prison for murder in an apartment in the Brittany on Connecticut Ave. [/quote] "Returning citizens" do qualify for housing vouchers. Per DC Code landlords can only "look back" 7 years for crime, including if they were incarcerated for 7+ years. There are no exceptions for rape, murder, etc. and that legislation applies regardless of how rent is paid, so, not limited to vouchers, but often they would not otherwise have legal means to pay. Yeah, people need to understand why the Connecticut and Wisconsin corridors have changes so much. Initially the vouchers were for 1 year and often seemed to go to elderly. Now almost all are PSH and many of the recipients are quite young. Crime and visible drug dealing has really increased, often with the dealers coming from elsewhere. It's not just rental apartments but also rented out condo units. [/quote]
