H.R. 10688 — Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act of 2026

This section establishes the family stability and opportunity vouchers program. It authorizes the Secretary to award competitive assistance each fiscal year to public housing agencies for incremental Section 8 vouchers and mobility-related services fees for eligible families—those expecting a child or with at least one child under age 6 who are homeless, unstably housed, living in a census tract with a poverty rate of 30 percent or higher, or at risk of displacement from an opportunity area. Agencies must offer (but may not require) mobility services to help families relocate to areas with high-performing schools or high-quality childcare, reissue turned-over vouchers to other eligible families, and adopt specified mobility policies; the Secretary sets minimum service standards and qualifying criteria and gives preference to agencies partnering with home visiting programs.
