Removing Cap on Flexible Housing Program for Local Agencies.

This bill eliminates the federal cap on the number of local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) allowed to participate in the "Moving to Work" (MTW) demonstration program. MTW grants agencies greater flexibility in using federal funds for public housing and rental assistance. This change aims to allow more communities to implement innovative, locally tailored solutions for affordable housing management.
Key points
The statutory upper limit on the number of housing agencies participating in the flexible funding management program (MTW) is removed.
More local agencies will be able to implement community-specific rules regarding public housing and rental assistance, potentially leading to more efficient housing solutions.
