Low income families who move to low-poverty neighborhoods have also been shown to experience better physical and mental health and have lower rates of hospitalizations in the long-term. These findings have sparked renewed interest in housing mobility programs by housing advocates and housing authorities to support families assisted through the Housing Choice Voucher program move to higher opportunity areas.

Low income families who move to low-poverty neighborhoods have also been shown to experience better physical and mental health and have lower rates of hospitalizations in the long-term. These findings have sparked renewed interest in housing mobility programs by housing advocates and housing authorities to support families assisted through the Housing Choice Voucher program move to higher opportunity areas. These programs are intended to address barriers to accessing housing choices by offering mobility-related assistance. \nIn this webinar we will: \n\nLearn about housing mobility services and strategies;\nExamine the racial and economic impacts of the Housing Mobility Program operated by the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh; and\nDiscuss the role these programs can play in reducing neighborhood segregation and improving economic opportunity for minority families.\n\nPresenters: \n\nAndrew Fenelon\, PhD | Assistant Professor\, Public Policy and Sociology | The Pennsylvania State University\nSelena Ortiz\, PhD\, MPH | Associate Professor\, Health Policy\, Demography\, and Public Policy | The Pennsylvania State University\nMegan Confer-Hammond | Chief Operating Officer | Fair Housing Partnership of Greater Pittsburgh\nModerator: Gale Schwartz | Associate Director\, Policy and Programs | Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania\n\nRegistration will close at 11:00AM – 1 hour prior to the webinar start time \nYou will receive the link and call in information from the Housing Alliance 1 hour prior to the webinar \n**Pricing** \nFree for Members \n$25 for Non-Members \nEmail info@housingalliancepa.org to verify your membership \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: \nFebruary 8th\, 2023 \n12:00PM-1:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere: \nClick Here to Register  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHousing Alliance Resources \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHousing Needs Snapshots \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.housingalliancepa.org
