Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) is undertaking an evaluation of the Moving to Work demonstration program expansion. Moving to Work (MTW) is a demonstration program that encourages public housing agencies (PHAs) to test ways to achieve any or multiple of three specific objectives: increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing programs, encourage greater self-sufficiency of households receiving housing assistance, and increase housing choice for low-income families. MTW designation gives PHAs relief from many of the regulations and statutory provisions that apply to the public housing and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs. MTW agencies can also merge their public housing and HCV funds into a single block grant and use these funds (if desired) for local activities outside the typical public housing and HCV programs, such as providing supportive services or developing housing for populations with special needs. In 2016, Congress authorized HUD to expand the MTW program by 100 high performing PHAs. Cohort 1 is the first of five cohorts that HUD has identified for the MTW expansion. Cohort 1 is limited to PHAs with no more than 1,000 housing units across their HCV and public housing programs (“small” PHAs). In Cohort 1, PHAs are free to implement any program and policy change permissible under the MTW program. HUD will learn from the Evaluation of Cohort 1 of the Moving to Work Demonstration Program Expansion (Cohort 1 Evaluation) how small PHAs choose to use MTW flexibility and how their choices affect PHA and tenant outcomes.

Short Statement:
The authorization of the expansion of the MTW program included a mandate that HUD rigorously evaluate the expansion. Without this data collection effort, HUD will be unable to evaluate the implementation and impact of MTW designation on the first cohort of small PHAs. The data collection covered by this ICR is essential for answering research questions regarding MTW implementation and for providing context for interpreting the study’s impact analyses. If this data collection is not conducted or conducted less frequently, HUD would not be able to adequately answer the study’s key research questions or be responsive the Congressional mandate to evaluate the program.
