MTW Explained

MTW gives MPHA the chance to design programs that meet local need. This is a federal program that gives local housing authority’s more flexibility. With MTW status, MPHA can make policies that best serve our community.

The MTW program allows most HUD regulations to be modified if it is pursuing one of these three aims:

  1. Cost savings: Reduce cost for federal spending.
  2. Self-Sufficiency: Provide employment support for families with children who are seeking to become self-sufficient.
  3. Housing Choices: Increase housing choices and mobility for low-income families.

Every year, MTW agencies submit a plan to HUD to explain how they will use MTW flexibility in their programs the following year. They also show note the program’s success through an annual report as well.

MPHA got MTW status in 1998, along with 38 other housing authorities. These agencies have been helping their communities in creative and effective ways for over 20 years. To grow on the best practices of MTW agencies, HUD began to expand the program in 2018. The aim is to have data-driven policy decision to expand on successes across the country. You can learn more about the MTW Expansion on the HUD website.
