Maximizing Impact:
Improving the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Housing Choice Voucher Program helps more than 2 million families find housing each year—but thousands of vouchers go unused because the program lacks the resources and flexibility to maximize its impact. New research from RAND and UC Berkeley’s Terner Center identifies best practices and policies, as well as regulatory reforms, that can help maximize the use of the HCV program’s scarce resources.
A nonpartisan research foundation, we are dedicated to raising awareness, supporting communities and collaborating with thought leaders to create impactful data-driven solutions for the housing and homelessness crisis in the United States.
