If it's a drug violation charge... I think not. The lines are already very long for people with clean records. A drug charge will get you thrown out of section 8 housing if you were already in it.

No drug charge I simply told my boyfriend at the during a argument don't leave I don't want to go and the cops said that I can't say that and charged me with false imprisonment

OH.. you mean domestic Violence...

Charges mean little... was there a conviction? That's what matters most. Not all charges result in convictions.

That's the only thing on my back ground and I just got accepted into housing so I was curious if that was going to hurt my chances moving forward

If you passed the application and screening and got to a wait list... then you are likely OK.

It should not make a difference, a drug change would have.

Good luck, it is a long process
