If they will allow you to live there then what's the problem?
-
Maybe you can show something to people to say you are fighting this issue .

Do you mean 'they will NOT allow', you said will allow. If on parole, check with your parole officer, they may know of somewhere or help you find a place. Also, check with a few of the local churches that have Prison Outreach Ministries, they could probably help you. Wishing you the best in both areas.

"It wasn't me" Stop blaming other people for your problems! Use your brain and get creative. Look into sub-leasing. Lease directly from the owner of a rental house. Look for roommate ads. Go to your church and ask for help or referrals. Look for organizations that are willing to give felons a second chance.

If you are in the US, there are many sober houses and halfway houses will allow you to live there. You need to look for them by googling these terms along with your city and state.

If you did or didn'y I don't know and I'm not going to touch it. But I will say that Michael Vick is a perfect example of the mind set of society on this topic. Do the crime. Do the time. It's over...I don't think so. Society is as vicious as a mad dog on this issue. I know three people that have changed and have good good jobs and families. All of that is in the past but they have to deal with it over and over.
