Description:
According to HUD, Moving to Work (MTW) is a program that allows public housing authorities (PHAs) to design and test ways to:
• Promote self-sufficiency among assisted families;
• Achieve programmatic efficiency and reduce costs; and
• Increase housing choice for low-income households.1
To assess the families living in its communities, the Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA) contracted with The Center for Applied Research to survey public housing residents in Charlotte. Assessing the ability of the families supported by PHAs to move towards independent living required gathering information on an array of variables which address
many components of self-sufficiency.
