On November 4, 2021, Mobility Works, the Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC), and the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) hosted the 8th National Housing Mobility Conference. Housing practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and mobility participants came together virtually to hear the latest on the HUD Choice Mobility Demonstration, learn about prospects for new policies and funding to support mobility, gain tips for recruiting landlords in high-opportunity neighborhoods, and discuss how to involve voucher holders in program design. Presenters included local and federal housing officials, nonprofit leaders, and researchers.
7th National Housing Mobility Conference, Washington, DC (2018)
On October 16-17, 2018, Mobility Works, PRRAC, and the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) hosted the 7th National Housing Mobility Conference. People from across the country, including public housing authority officials, researchers, and nonprofit leaders gathered to better understand how to further housing mobility and find new ways to collaborate on mobility efforts. The conference specifically recognized the pivotal moment in which we live; the housing mobility “movement” is growing and wielding greater influence: Some recent successes and notable occurrences include bipartisan congressional support for the housing mobility demonstration bill, the growth of the Mobility Works technical assistance consortium, and the release of the Opportunity Atlas from Raj Chetty and colleagues, further demonstrating the economic mobility potential of housing mobility.
