What is one of the goals of the Housing Choice Voucher Program?

The goal of the Housing Choice Voucher Program is to provide affordable rental housing options to low-income families. This program enables participants to choose their own housing in the private market, using vouchers to pay for a portion of the rent. The aim is to give families the flexibility to find suitable housing that meets their needs while ensuring that they can afford rent in areas of their choosing.

The program is designed to enhance housing stability and mobility, allowing families to live in neighborhoods with better access to jobs, schools, and services. By focusing on rental support rather than homeownership or commercial investment, the Housing Choice Voucher Program specifically addresses the needs of families who may struggle to find safe and adequate housing due to financial constraints.
