EnVision Center Demonstration

Pilot program for public-private collaboration to improve educational and employment opportunities, health outcomes, and community participation of HUD-assisted households.

Nature of Program: HUD launched the EnVision Center demonstration program in December of 2017. The goal of the EnVision Center Demonstration is to accelerate economic mobility for low income households living in HUD-assisted housing.

In June 2018, HUD designated 17 communities across the nation to develop EnVision Centers, centralized hubs for supportive services focusing on the following four pillars: (1) Economic Empowerment, (2) Educational Advancement, (3) Health and Wellness, and (4) Character and Leadership.

Through the demonstration, HUD aims to increase the number of people who are employed, earning GEDs or enrolling in colleges as well as the number of third graders reading at gradelevel. HUD also seeks to increase the number of pre-natal wellness visits, annual physicals, vision and hearing screenings for pre-school aged children, and increase civil engagement, participation in mentoring programs, and two-parent households.

HUD partners with federal agencies, state and local governments, non-profits, faith-based organizations, corporations, PHAs, Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities, and housing finance agencies, to leverage public and private resources for the benefit of individuals and families living in HUD-assisted housing.

Applicant Eligibility: Eligible communities are those with a mayor or executive elected official who will formally announce commitment to enhance economic mobility, that will commit to developing and implementing a plan to expand economic mobility. Eligible communities must also be currently participating in one or more Federal place-based initiatives and broadly committed to the vision of Office of American Innovation.
