MTW Plans & Reports

HUD named the King County Housing Authority a Moving to Work (MTW) agency in 2003. MTW gives KCHA waivers from certain HUD regulations. This flexibility allows us to shape our federally funded programs in ways that respond to local conditions, streamline operations, and better support tenants' economic self-sufficiency. KCHA is one of 39 housing authorities that participate in the MTW program.

The Housing Authority submits plans and reports to HUD each year. The annual plan outlines our MTW goals and activities for the upcoming fiscal year. The annual report compares KCHA's performance with the goals identified in the plan.

MTW plans, reports, and amendments are provided in PDF format.
