Upcoming Webinar

Roundtable on Expanding the Housing Choice Voucher Program
Thursday, 2/4
12 - 1:30 pm Eastern

An expanded Housing Choice Voucher program could go far toward preventing and ending homelessness, and is likely to be considered as part of the federal budget for fiscal 2022.

This panel of housing policy experts and leaders of public housing authorities will discuss why a greatly expanded program is needed, how rapidly an expansion could take place, and how the expansion can support and promote racial justice.

Jill Khadduri, Abt Associates

Presenters:

Meryl Finkel, Abt Associates
Andrew Lofton, Seattle Housing Authority
Richard Monocchio, Housing Authority of Cook County
Douglas Rice, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
