Moving to Work
Moving to Work is a long-term federal pilot program designed to learn whether public housing authorities can serve their communities better with more local discretion over funding allocation, policies, and procedures.
On April 1, 1999, Home Forward was one of only 39 initial public housing authorities in the country (out of more than 3,000) to have been selected by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and approved by Congress to participate in this program. There are now over 100.
As part of the Moving to Work demonstration project, Home Forward prepares an annual plan and report to HUD. Plans and reports are available below. Previous years are available through a Public Records Request.

Public Notice: Home Forward’s Proposed Change to the Moving to Work Program
Home Forward is considering a change to how it participates in the federal Moving to Work (MTW) program. MTW gives public housing authorities greater flexibility in how they use federal funds and administer housing programs, allowing them to develop locally designed approaches to better serve their communities.
Home Forward currently participates as a Legacy MTW agency and is considering transitioning to the MTW Expansion program, which has different rules for how public housing authorities can use federal funds and administer housing programs.
If Home Forward transitions to the MTW Expansion program, we will review our existing MTW activities to determine which can continue under the new rules and whether any changes or additional approvals are needed.
Home Forward is seeking public comments on this proposal before making a decision. Following the public comment process, the Home Forward Board of Commissioners must approve the proposed transition if the proposal is adopted.
