Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Additional Implementation Guidance of the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration for Awarded PHAs

Issuing agencies

Abstract

On July 15, 2020, HUD published a notice (Implementation Notice) implementing the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) mobility demonstration (demonstration) authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019. The demonstration was later renamed the Community Choice Demonstration (CCD). Through the Implementation Notice, HUD made available up to $50,000,000 to participating Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to implement housing mobility programs. On April 30, 2021, HUD announced its selection of PHAs that would participate in the demonstration. Those PHAs received $45.7 million in total funding under that award. On April 4, 2022, HUD issued "Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Implementation of the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration for Awarded PHAs, Supplementary Notice for Demonstration Participants" (Supplementary Notice) which supplemented the Implementation Notice and described additional policies and flexibilities for PHAs selected to participate in the demonstration. Building on the implementation experience since the Supplementary Notice, HUD has identified further policies and flexibilities necessary to ensure effective PHA participation in the demonstration. Additionally, this notice provides requirements related to recapture and reallocation of funds.
