MTW Plans & Reports

HUD named the King County Housing Authority a Moving to Work (MTW) agency in 2003. MTW gives KCHA local flexibility through waivers from certain HUD regulations. This flexibility allows us to shape our federally funded programs to better respond to local conditions, streamline operations, and support residents and tenants in their goals of economic self-sufficiency.

Every year, KCHA submits an MTW Annual Plan to HUD, outlining our MTW goals and activities for the upcoming fiscal year. At the end of the year, the MTW Annual Report compares KCHA's performance with the goals identified in the plan.

KCHA is one of the original 39 housing authorities to participate in the MTW program, and HUD recently expanded the program to another 100 housing authorities.
