WASHINGTON — A few thousand lifetime registered sex offenders illegally live in federally subsidized housing, an internal investigation found.
Investigators projected that the Housing and Urban Development Department subsidizes roughly 2,100 to 3,000 households that include a serious sex offender. The HUD inspector general’s office conducted the review.
Congress banned subsidized housing for the most serious sex offenders after 1997, when a convicted sex offender was charged with assaulting and molesting a 9-year-old neighbor girl in public housing.
