Moving On
As part of its strategic priority to end homelessness, HUD encourages communities to explore Moving On strategies in their communities for clients in permanent supportive housing (PSH) who may no longer need or want the intensive services offered in PSH but continue to need assistance to maintain their housing. Moving On strategies challenge a community to create partnerships between the Continuum of Care (CoC) and mainstream housing programs, such as public housing, the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, and HUD-funded multifamily housing providers.
Part of HUD’s strategic initiative is to give communities tools and best practice examples that will help them implement a successful Moving On strategy. These resources include resource inventory tools, guidebooks, case-studies, and lessons learned from other communities who have implemented a Moving On strategy.
