Section 8 Moving to Work Demonstration (MTW). HUD is authorized to 
select up to 30 Housing Agencies (HAs) that administer the public and 
Indian housing and Section 8 programs to participate in MTW. 
Eligibility for MTW is limited to: (1) high-performing HAs; and (2) HAs 
that are selected for MTW through the Jobs-Plus initiative. HUD will 
select HAs for MTW through a merit-based process using specified 
selection criteria. A Federal Register Notice will invite HAs apply for 
MTW. Submission of an MTW plan, including comments from the public 
hearing, other public comments, and comments from current and 
prospective residents, and compliance with other submission and 
eligibility requirements are also required. HUD reserves the right to 
implement a second stage in the selection process, giving HAs an 
opportunity to further develop and revise their MTW plans.)
