This is known as Porting, which you have the right to do. You need to contact the Housing Authority of the destination (which will be known as the receiving Housing Authority), and arrange things with them and your initial Housing Authority (the one that issued the voucher). This process takes CAREFUL PLANNING, so be careful in what you do and at what stage of the porting. It should be noted that the receiving Housing Authority has the right to interview you and will put you through the same process as a new recipient-- a ported voucher is not a "free pass" through the system.
