    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.

    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.
