The 9th National Conference on Housing Mobility, hosted by PRRAC, Mobility Works, CLPHA and NAHRO, was held in Washington, DC on Wednesday, September 20 and featured a keynote address by Professor Raj Chetty and a progress report on the Community Choice Demonstration. The Conference came at a time of exciting momentum in our field – the launch of the Community Choice Demonstration in 8 metro areas, the release of a new $25M Mobility Services funding notice to support new and existing mobility programs, and potential policy changes at HUD that could improve low-income families’ access to higher opportunity communities.
