PRRAC Report Reviews Mobility Programs

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) released a report, Housing Mobility Programs in the U.S. 2020, that provides a detailed list of housing mobility programs across the country. Housing mobility programs are operated by housing authorities or nonprofits to offer counseling and other services for voucher-holders to help them find housing in high-opportunity neighborhoods. The report includes 25 programs, 15 of which are established and 10 of which are new or emerging.

For each program, the report provides details about the surrounding region, including population, share of voucher families in low-poverty tracts, and number of public housing agencies. The report also describes the services offered, number of mobility staff, definition of mobility neighborhoods, and funding sources for each program, as well as contact information for program staff.
