Finally, professors Kale Williams and Paul Fischer presented MPC’s recommendations on CHA’s relocation support strategy, contained in the reportTemporary Relocation, Permanent Choice: Serving Families with Vouchers During the CHA Plan for Transformation , commissioned by MPC.

This new strategy is a response to the above-mentioned recommendations and incorporates many of the lessons learned during the first years of the Plan for Transformation.
