Moving to Work (MTW) is a demonstration program for public housing authorities (PHAs) that provides them the opportunity to design and test innovative, locally-designed strategies that use Federal dollars more efficiently, help residents find employment and become self-sufficient, and increase housing choices for low-income families. MTW gives PHAs exemptions from many existing public housing and voucher rules and more flexibility with how they use their Federal funds. MTW PHAs are expected to use the opportunities presented by MTW to inform HUD about ways to better address local community needs.
As an MTW agency, SDHC on July 1, 2010, became one of the first housing agencies in the nation to receive HUD approval to use Sponsor-Based Federal Housing Vouchers to make housing available for homeless San Diegans.
THA’s Education Project has two main purposes: it seeks to help the children it houses succeed in school; and it seeks to promote the success of the schools serving THA’s communities.
