Matthew Charles is applauded after President Trump recognized him during the State of the Union address on Feb. 5. Charles was released from prison under the First Step Act. By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow March 18 at 6:13 PM Even the support of President Trump and Kim Kardashian West wasn’t enough to secure Matthew Charles a lease on a Nashville apartment.
His application to the Forest Park Apartments in Madison, a northeastern neighborhood in Nashville, was denied March 6, the Nashville Tennessean reported this month. Amy Jansch, a manager for the apartments, would not comment on Charles’s application but told The Washington Post that applicants underwent a national background check, and could be rejected based on prior felony convictions or an insufficient credit score.
“It’s tough for a person with a criminal record to find housing even though you’ve paid your debt to society and have made significant changes in your life,” Charles said. “As a nation, if we want to reduce recidivism we can’t make it hard for people coming out of prison to succeed.” Matthew Charles’s lease application was rejected again bc of his criminal record . If there are any landlords w a 2 bedroom in Nashville willing to give Mr Charles a 2nd chance, contact mocapt615@gmail.com Serious inquiries only, thank you 🙏🏼
