Existing efforts to provide affordable homes have fallen short, with ongoing structural racism and segregation within our communities exacerbating challenges for low-income families to access areas with plenty of jobs and high-quality schools. Research shows that when children grow up in high opportunity areas they are more likely to have successful life outcomes. Lower crime, quality healthcare, and access to high-performing schools and early education programs give children of low-income families a greater chance to experience upward economic mobility. The Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act empowers families with young children to live in communities with quality schools, safe neighborhoods, and high-paying jobs. If passed, the Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act will allow 250,000 more families to move to areas with greater opportunity. The bill also provides mobility-related services, helping families relocate to communities of their choice and escape the cycle of poverty. Tell Congress that everyone should have the opportunity to live in areas of opportunity. Urge them to pass the Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/action-alert-pass-the-family-vouchers-and-stability-act
