and HCV programs, such as providing
supportive services or developing
housing for populations with special
needs. In 2016, Congress authorized
HUD to expand the MTW program by
100 high performing PHAs.
The MTW expansion statute
emphasizes evaluating the MTW
program, directing HUD to expand the
program in cohorts that would allow for
‘‘one specific policy change to be
implemented. . . .’’ and rigorously
evaluated. The first cohort of the
expansion is testing the impact of MTW
designation on small PHAs, defined for
these purposes as PHAs administering
no more than 1,000 housing units across
their HCV and public housing programs.
In Cohort 1, PHAs are free to implement
any program and policy changes
permissible under the MTW program.
Under contract with HUD’s Office of
Policy Development and Research, Abt
Associates Inc. is conducting an
evaluation of Cohort 1 that includes a
study of how PHAs use their MTW
flexibility to meet the MTW program’s
goals and a study of the impact of MTW
designation on cost effectiveness, selfsufficiency, and housing choice.
The Evaluation of Cohort 1 of the
Moving to Work Demonstration Program
Expansion is being implemented as a
randomized control trial. To carry out
the study, HUD randomly assigned the
43 eligible PHAs that submitted a Letter
of Interest to HUD for Cohort 1 into one
of two groups: a treatment group (33
PHAs) that was invited to complete the
application for MTW designation and a
control group (10 PHAs) that was not
invited to complete the application for
MTW designation and therefore was not
permitted to receive MTW designation
under Cohort 1.
The evaluation will compare the
outcomes of the treatment group PHAs
to the outcomes of the control group
PHAs over a five-year period. To the
extent possible, this evaluation is
relying on analysis of secondary data
that PHAs already prepare and submit
to HUD, however, some primary data
collection is required to carry out the
evaluation.
This Federal Register Notice provides
an opportunity to comment on the
information collection for the
evaluation. The evaluation will use the
data described in this information
collection request to clarify and expand
on information provided in the existing
data sources and to capture qualitative
information about the experiences of
study PHAs implementing activities
related to cost effectiveness, selfsufficiency, or housing choice without
MTW flexibility. The proposed
information collection consists of: (1)
interviews with MTW (treatment group)
PHAs; (2) online surveys to non-MTW
(control group) PHAs; and (3) interviews
with non-MTW (control group) PHAs.
