Development (HUD), is proposing the
collection of information for Phase 1
Evaluation of the Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) Mobility Demonstration.
Under contract with HUD PD&R, Abt
Associates Inc. and its subcontractors
the Urban Institute, MEF Associates,
Social Policy Research Associates, and
Sage Consulting are conducting Phase 1
of a planned two-phase Evaluation of
the HCV Mobility Demonstration. The
Demonstration is a multi-site,
randomized-controlled trial of the effect
of housing mobility-related services on
the share of HCV holders with children
that move to lower poverty areas.
This Demonstration will allow
participating public housing agencies
(PHAs) throughout the country to
implement housing mobility programs
by offering mobility-related services to
increase the number of voucher families
with children living in opportunity
areas. Participating PHAs will work
together in their regions to adopt
administrative policies that further
enable housing mobility, increase
landlord participation, and reduce
barriers for families to move across PHA
jurisdictions through portability.
Eligible families that consent to
participate in the Demonstration are
randomly assigned to either receive
mobility-related services or to not
receive services.
Through the Demonstration, HUD will
implement, test, and evaluate whether
housing mobility programs expand
access to opportunity neighborhoods.
The Demonstration will roll out in two
phases over a period of approximately
six years. The Phase 1 Evaluation has a
five-year period of performance and will
evaluate the effectiveness of a
comprehensive set of mobility-related
services at no more than 10 sites. For
voucher holders, outcomes of the
mobility-related services are
hypothesized to be increases in the
number of families who move to lower
poverty areas. The Phase 1 evaluation
will also document the implementation
of the Demonstration and analyze the
