Can one qualify for an FHA loan in these circumstances?

A friend of mine is looking into an FHA loan for a mobile home. He is elderly, disabled, retired but receives a very good monthly pension as a result of his years of work. Several years ago, his former landlord sold an apartment complex he resided at; everyone had been EVICTED and it stayed on their records. A few years ago he rented a duplex and the SAME thing happened. The property was sold and he was in a bind. The new owner served him with an eviction that has since been on his record.
