Policy Statement 24, Research Highlight 6
Housing providers have discretion in how they apply the bans.
Housing providers have discretion to shorten the three-year ban for people evicted based on drug-related criminal activity if those individuals successfully complete a rehabilitation program approved by the local housing provider or if the circumstances leading to the eviction no longer exist. The housing provider may permit such individuals to be admitted or to remain if they demonstrate that they are not currently abusing alcohol or illegally using drugs and that they have been rehabilitated in any one of three ways: (1) participation in a supervised alcohol or drug rehabilitation program; (2) completion of a supervised alcohol or drug rehabilitation program; or (3) successful rehabilitation in some other manner.
