Youll have to be more specific. What 'rights' you are referring to? What are the ages of the children? Who has primary custody of them while you are (presumably) in prison?

You do not lose your rights when you are convicted of a felony. You lose some rights which will be determined by the judge.

Yes...if you are a convicted felon and reside in Pittsburgh PA, and your felony record is greater than 5 years old, you are eligible to apply for Section 8 housing.
Okay, we're talking about two different issues: the section 8 housing program, and a felony conviction. Each housing authority has its own rules regarding felony convictions for those who want to apply for the program. Generally, many of the housing authorities will prohibit anyone convicted of a felony of less than five years from receiving a voucher. Federal regulations prohibit those convicted of certain types of felonies from ever receiving a voucher or public housing. These felonies include sex offenses for which a person must register in his state as a sex offender; drug trafficking offenses; violent offenses such as robbery, aggravated battery, etc.; and fraud involving public assistance.
It all depends on what type of felony that person is convicted of. If the person must register in his state as a sex offender, the felony is of violent or drug nature, or the felony involves public assistance fraud, then by federal regulations the Housing Authority cannot accept this person into the voucher program. And the Housing Authority may have its own rules of whom they may exclude as convicted felons from their programs. Most often than not they include felonies of any kind of less than 5-7 years from the date of release from incarceration or supervision, whichever later occurred.
