Eligiblility for Housing Allowance

My dad is a retired Wesleyan minister. He pastored in a number of churches over the years, but it was not his primary source of employment over his working years. He is currently ordained, but not licensed and does not have an active role in the church. Is he eligible to take a distribution from his small 403b as a housing allowance? Thanks.
