Earlier this month, HUD Secretary Ben Carson announced the launch of the first EnVision Center hub in Detroit, an initiative designed to provide those receiving housing assistance with long-term skills and training “to help people take the first few steps towards self-sufficiency.” HUD is now accepting public comments on the EnVision Center demonstration until February 12, 2018. The demonstration is intended to empower people living in HUD-assisted housing to become responsible homeowners and renters in the private market, and will offer communities with a centralized hub for resources and support based on what the program defines as four pillars of opportunity: economic empowerment, educational advancement, health and wellness, and character and leadership. The ten-community pilot, starting in Detroit, will leverage public and private funds to bring together services from government, community-based and non-profit organization to contribute to the economic mobility of public housing residents
