About Moving to Work
The Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration is a nationwide program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that allows selected public housing authorities (PHAs) to develop and test innovative, locally designed strategies to meet specific needs of the community. The MTW program exempts these PHAs from many voucher and public housing rules and offers flexibility on how federal funds can be utilized.
