Overview

In May 2021, HUD announced the 10 public housing agencies (PHAs) that have been selected for the second cohort of the MTW Expansion. A brief description of each PHA can be found in the “Applicant/Selectee Information” section below. More information on each of these PHAs will be posted on the Participating Agencies page as they begin the process of accepting MTW designation and implementing a local MTW program.

The second cohort of the MTW Expansion will evaluate alternative rent policies designed to increase resident self-sufficiency and reduce PHA administrative burdens. It includes PHAs with 1,001 or more aggregate units of public housing and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) units.

PIH Notice 2019-04 requested Letters of Interest from PHAs seeking to join the second cohort of the MTW Expansion. To be considered for the second cohort, PHAs submitted a Letter of Interest package by June 12, 2019. HUD conducted an eligibility review of these interested PHAs.

PIH Notice 2020-21 requested full applications from PHAs seeking to join the second cohort of the MTW Expansion. Only those PHAs that submitted a Letter of Interest package under PIH Notice 2019-04 and were found to be eligible could apply under PIH Notice 2020-21. A list of these PHAs is also provided below in the “Applicant/Selectee Information” section.
