Congress has acted to prevent the admission of illegal drug users, alcohol abusers, and lifetime sex offender registrants into federally assisted housing programs. Pursuant to that statutory authority, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promulgated regulations that ban all three groups—drug users, alcohol abusers, and lifetime sex offender registrants—from admission into the programs. You need to get another drug screen showing that you are clean.
