Bill overview
This bill authorizes the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to run a demonstration program to encourage families receiving housing choice vouchers to move to areas with better opportunities, often called ‘opportunity areas.’ It requires public housing agencies to create and submit ‘Regional Housing Mobility Plans’ outlining how they will achieve this goal, potentially involving partnerships with community organizations and landlords. The program aims to address concentrated poverty and improve housing outcomes for voucher recipients.
