You can work from anywhere. So why not move to a place you love?

MakeMyMove is the first-ever marketplace connecting movers with relocation programs, provided by communities across the country actively recruiting new residents. We help you find the right place and get there, and we help communities grow through talent attraction.

We’re 100% supported by communities. Thanks to their investments, our service is free to folks like you who are thinking about making a move.

New residents bring growth, both economically and culturally. Local leaders around the country are recognizing this opportunity and assembling relocation programs that make moves easier and help new residents settle into the community.

Each program has its own specific requirements, so be sure to review the Eligibility Requirements section for the ones you're interested in. Most are geared toward remote workers or job-seekers, so you’ll want to find the best fit for your situation. In general, to qualify, you must be 18 years or older, able to lawfully work in the United States, commit to moving for a minimum amount of time, and have a minimum annual income as defined by each program. In most cases, only one person per household can apply and qualify. That person will need to complete the application, verify their details, and receive an official offer in order to participate.

Remote workers are employed full-time and typically do their jobs from a computer. They can work from their house, an office, a co-working space, coffee shop, maybe sometimes from the bleachers at their kids' swim meet. Remote workers who have moved through our programs have titles like Customer Service Agent, Software Engineer, Insurance Advisor, and more. Examples of roles that aren't considered remote include Delivery Driver, Mechanic, and Cashier.

Many communities have built dedicated programs for job-seekers—designed to help prospective residents connect with local employers ahead of their move. When you apply, you may get personalized support with your job search, like local job leads, networking tips, and more. The best way to explore what’s out there is to apply and start the conversation!

Engagement matters! These programs can fill up fast, so staying responsive throughout the process can help you secure your spot more quickly. Take the time to connect with your program manager—share what’s drawing you to the community and how you hope to get involved once you arrive. The more they understand your goals, the better they can advocate for you and shape a great experience in return.

Most programs require that you stay at least a year. But we hope you’ll love the place so much, you’ll still call it home long after your first year.

Absolutely! In many participating communities, we work with local partners to help connect newcomers—and their families—with job opportunities and other helpful resources. Some programs even offer bonus incentives for others in the household that land local jobs. You can let us know your needs in your application, or feel free to reach out to our team anytime during the process. We’re here to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
