It is a possibility that assuming your application for low income housing shows that you were evicted from a rental 12 years ago that you could very well be denied what you are presently seeking. The question is how far back will the housing authority go for a background check and a credit report as to your past.
Given the fact that the eviction happened 12 years ago there is a good chance that the incident may not even be found. Most investigations go back 5 years of so based upon my experience concerning an applicant for a rental.
