MTW Plans & Reports

Moving to Work (MTW) is a HUD designation that 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. KCHA was one of the original 39 housing authorities to be granted MTW flexibility in 2003.

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.
