RE: Public Housing and Section 8 Programs: Housing Choice Voucher Program: Streamlining the Portability Process, 77 F.R. 18731

Dear colleagues, These comments are submitted on behalf of the undersigned civil rights and fair housing organizations. We strongly support any regulatory reform of the Housing Choice Voucher Program that will expand low income families’ housing choice and access to higher opportunity and non-segregated communities.

Our comments will primarily focus on the specific issues HUD has requested comments on, and we will also make additional suggestions for improvement to the proposed rule.
