Moving to Work (MTW) is a demonstration program for public housing authorities (PHAs) that provides them the opportunity to design and test innovative, locally designed strategies that use Federal dollars more efficiently, help residents find employment and become self-sufficient, and increase housing choices for low-income families. MTW gives PHAs exemptions from many existing public housing and voucher rules and more flexibility with how they use their Federal funds.[1] PHAs can use special funding formulas for MTW agencies and permit agencies to shift funds between the programs or to other uses.[2]
The program is operated by 39 PHAs nationwide.[3]
