The Housing Choice Voucher program assists households in a large majority of neighborhoods containing affordable rental housing. These neighborhoods are in both the central cities and the suburbs of metropolitan areas including high and low poverty neighborhoods. There are a substantial number of neighborhoods with disproportionately low numbers of program participants and a few with relatively large numbers of assisted households.

The purpose of this study is to describe where HCV assistance is being used and whether program participants have access to a broad range of affordable housing. The study examines some of HCV's possible impacts on program participants and the neighborhoods in which they live.
