Earn Reliable Income + Incentives

The Making Moves Program helps families who are enrolled in our mobility program, and are working with a CDLI coach to use their housing choice voucher to move to communities that promote better health and life satisfaction, and improve children's school and future earnings success. Making Moves supports landlords and brokers through secure and reliable rental payments, plus financial incentives for leasing in well-resourced communities.
