Please help convicted felons, who have successfully completed parole, to rent apartments in the community. I've been convicted of 9 felonies, beginning in 1992. Each time I went to prison and got out I had no place to turn but to the streets; which landed me right back in jail. Today, I have 6 years clean & sober, with gainful employment and cannot get an apartment. I have to live across the street from drug dealers and pimps because I can't rent an apartment. On top of that, I've lost $225.00 in application fees because some complexes will tell you that it depends on what shows up on their report when they run you...but they can't run you without that $35. We have the right to live in safe communities. We have paid our debt to society. Stop throwing us back in the streets.
