Housing Mobility 2025
October 15-17, 2025 | Chicago, IL
We are at a critical inflection point for the field of housing mobility, and for increasing housing choice and opportunity. We must build on a cross-partisan history of support and equip our members and other partners with the knowledge and resources to sustain their work. Otherwise, we risk losing the progress we’ve all built together.
This fall, we will convene people from housing, economic opportunity, public health, racial equity, and beyond to learn about the latest developments in housing mobility. The first two days will be dedicated to skill building and peer exchange for mobility practitioners. The third day will be the 10th National Housing Conference on Housing Mobility, cohosted with the Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC).
The main event space will be at the REALTOR Building, 430 N. Michigan Avenue, 2nd Floor, Chicago, IL 60611.
We hope you will join us for one, two, or all three days. Agenda and confirmed speaker details will be shared in the coming months. Registration is below. Members of the Housing Mobility Network get 20% off for up to five registrants for each day. Once registered, you will receive information about our discounted hotel blocks and tips for enjoying your time in Chicago!

Training Institute
October 15, 2025
Our Housing Mobility Training Institute is designed for staff that are new to housing mobility, to build connections and skills that will equip and empower them to contribute to a successful mobility program. Offered annually, the Institute features instruction from program practitioners, participants, and landlord partners, as well as researchers and advocates. Trainees are invited to a community-building happy hour at a fun spot nearby from 5-6:30.

Practitioner Gathering
October 16, 2025
We are thrilled to be hosting our second Practitioner Gathering after the success of our 2024 event in Boston. We’ll bring together mobility practitioners from around the country to trade wisdom, collaborate, and build motivation and resilience to sustain their advancement of family choice and opportunity. The day will be split between facilitated peer activities and an advanced skills-based training session for staff that have attended the Training Institute. There will be a celebratory reception from 5-7 for attendees of the Practitioner Gathering and National Conference.

National Conference on Housing Mobility
October 17, 2025
During the biennial conference, Mobility Works and PRRAC will feature presenters from the realms of research, policy, and practice to bring attendees up to date on developments in the field and spark discussions that will push the work forward. In bringing together advocates, practitioners, policymakers, program participants, and researchers, the conference fulfills a vital momentum-building role for the field of housing mobility. All Conference attendees are invited to the celebratory reception on 10/16 from 5-7.
