Tacoma Housing Authority has been selected to become a Moving to Work agency.

MTW status will be very valuable for THA. Among other advantages, MTW would:

Allow more flexibility in how we spend federal monies.

Allow THA to give incentives to families with children where the head of household is working, seeking work or is preparing for work.

Provide ways for THA to increase housing choices for low-income families.

Help us reduce costs and achieve greater cost effectiveness in federal expenditures.

THA’s Moving to Work Plan is available here for your review.
