HAP's Moving to Work Annual Plan and Report

The Housing Authority of Portland is required to submit an annual plan to HUD as part of the Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration project. HAP uses this as an opportunity to review with the community any policy changes that we are considering over the next twelve months.

What is Moving to Work?
"Moving To Work allows a Public Housing Authority (PHA) to intermingle its operating subsidies, capital allocations, and Section 8 tenant based assistance in conducting its operations as long as it houses basically the same resident profile as pre-MTW. An MTW PHA also receives certain other de-regulatory concessions, such as the ability to waive certain HUD regulations in favor of locally developed polices specifically aimed at the needs of the MTW PHA and its resident population. The aim of MTW is to learn whether PHAs can do a better job for residents with the same amount of money and far more discretion over the policies and procedures that would allow them to operate in the most effective and efficient manner."
(CLPHA News – July/August 2002, p.13)

The Housing Authority of Portland has been operating as a Moving to Work agency since April 1, 1999.
