By San Kwon, NLIHC Policy Intern 

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) released an updated report, Housing Mobility Programs in the U.S. 2025, providing a detailed list of housing mobility programs around the country. These programs, operated by public housing authorities and nonprofit organizations, offer counseling and other services for voucher holders to help them find housing in high-opportunity neighborhoods. The updated report covers over 40 mobility programs, seven of them funded through HUD’s Housing Mobility Related Services grant program and six involved in HUD's Community Choice Demonstration project, which aims to increase access to low-poverty neighborhoods for families, specifically those with young children. 

For each program, the report provides details about the surrounding region, including the total number of voucher families with children, the share of voucher families in low-poverty tracts, the share of units affordable to voucher holders in low-poverty tracts, and the average rental vacancy rate. The report also provides details about each existing mobility program, including the average caseload, number of dedicated mobility staff, definition of mobility neighborhoods, annual budget, and funding sources, as well as contact information for program staff.
