Felon rental

I'm a felon in northern Ohio finding it impossible to find a place for me and my son. Every time a landlord finds out I have old felonies I'm rejected. I'm using this forum as a last resort for help. Does anyone know anyone that cares more about money than 12 year old mistakes?

@Michael Smith Sorry you are having a hard time finding housing.  I think a good plan of action would be to contact a social worker in your area. I bet they might be able to point you in the right direction in finding housing that is open to renting to someone with your background. Good luck.

I actually sympathize as my father was an ex-con who had some difficulty finding a job at one point in his life.
