A policy goal of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program consists of enabling recipients to select housing and neighborhoods of their choice through the promotion of residential mobility, yet prior evaluations of the program have failed to explore the experiences of recipients with regard to finding housing. This study incorporated qualitative data collection methods to gather the experiences and perspectives of HCV program recipients in their efforts to find housing. The data analysis revealed six prominent steps, which together illustrate the housing search process of the recipients. Implications for social work practice with recipients and housing service providers are discussed with particular focus toward implementing housing counseling services.

Research and evaluations on social programs often fail to consider the clients' perspective, yet such perspectives are critical to ensure that the programs and policies best meet clients' needs. Through individual interviews, this qualitative evaluation of the implementation of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, in a Midwestern city, USA, explored the recipients' perspectives in relation to the program's implementation and ability to meet their needs. The data analysis revealed detailed experiences in regard to program rules and priorities, stigma, and recipients' outcomes, and recommendations in regard to customer service, understanding recipients' circumstances, and program rules. Implications for social work practice and housing administrators are discussed, and evidence for clients' experiences and perspectives in program evaluation is provided.
