MoveSmart.org will foster vibrant and diverse neighborhoods by empowering housing seekers through technology to move to opportunity. Our Chicagoland mash-up of single point amenities (banks, schools, libraries, public trans, etc), affordable housing opportunities, and "neighborhood opportunities" - the programs and activities of community-based organizations, will encourage housing seekers to take full advantage of the opportunities neighborhoods offer and put them on a path to true integration.

Previous integration initiatives have proven costly and focused on families receiving public aid. Housing seekers with unlimited funds have always had the luxury of living where they choose. But for millions of families who have limited resources, finding the right neighborhood is difficult. MoveSmart.org will educate housing seekers about the benefits of integrative moves while at the same time providing suggestions on where to move, guides on how to move, and information on how to get involved in their new neighborhoods, inspiring pride in a new community and putting them on a path to true integration.

Housing seekers increasingly must go online to find a home to purchase or rent, but the available tools focus on the dollar value of a home, not the opportunities neighborhoods offer. Those opportunities, however, are not evenly distributed across neighborhoods. On MoveSmart.org, the very real benefits of racially and economically integrative moves are laid bare.
