DCHA is one of 39 public housing authorities selected by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to participate in the “Moving to Work” (MTW) demonstration program. As an MTW agency, DCHA has greater funding and regulatory flexibility to meet local housing needs. With this flexibility, MTW agencies design and test innovative, locally designed strategies focused on achieving greater cost effectiveness, while helping customers become self-sufficient and increasing housing choices.
