Yes, #housingmobility works! BRHP's program has contributed to the expansion of housing choice in the Baltimore region, which as a result is leading the nation in Housing Choice Voucher deconcentration. Families get to move to neighborhoods of their choice, where they feel safe, hopeful, and proud.
This is one of the best housing and empowerment programs in the country. Glad to serve with BHRP's executive director on the board of @housingmobility.org to help and encourage others to replicate this success as well.
