Community Choice Program (Mobility)

Neighborhood is everything when it comes to economic mobility. HACC's Community Choice Program helps households with Housing Choice Vouchers move to communities with high-performing schools, job opportunities, and low crime rates. Our designated mobility counselors provide briefings and trainings to interested participants to educate them on the benefits of making moves to these Opportunity Areas and assist them in their search for housing. Qualified tenants can receive assistance with their security deposits, and landlords who are new to the program can receive a cash incentive.
