The Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) will open the public comment period for the 2020 Moving to Work (MTW) Plan.

Residents, program participants, landlords, those on the waitlist and members of the public may submit comments on the proposed changes. The 30-day comment period begins on July 12, 2019 (8:00 a.m.) and ends August 12, 2019 (5:00 p.m.); all comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. on August 12, 2019.

About the 2020 MTW Plan

THA customers that are accessing THA rental assistance are having a harder time finding rental units in Tacoma. This is because of low vacancy rates and high rents. THA is planning to use its funding to help its customers be more competitive in the private market. This might include offering incentives to landlords, assisting with fees or helping people look for housing. THA wants to hear your ideas for how it can help people find affordable housing.
