Federal Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), or mobile Section 8s, have a 50-year legacy supporting housing access and stability, particularly for households with the lowest incomes.

As threats to the program emerge—from federal funding cuts to time limits—current data about household demographics and voucher usage can inform our response and new strategies.

Join CHAPA’s Housing Policy Action Center from 12-1 PM on February 4th for a free webinar detailing the Center’s first research release. The research team from NYU’s Furman Center will present first-of-its-kind findings on statewide and regional patterns in HCV use, followed by program updates and a brief Q&A.

Presenters

  • Dr. Ingrid Gould Ellen, Paulette Goddard Professor of Urban Policy and Planning Faculty Director, NYU Furman Center
  • Dr. Katherine O’Regan, Professor of Public Policy and Planning, NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service

Context-setting and Updates

  • Jennifer Gilbert, Musicant Cohen Executive Director, Housing Policy Action Center

Please send your questions for the Q&A to Sam Pereira ([email protected]) prior to the event. Although we may not be able to address all of your questions during the webinar, we will follow up with responses via email after the event.
