The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) selected the Pomona Housing Authority (PHA) to participate in the Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Expansion Program to design and test new ways of providing housing assistance and services to low-income households.  Housing Authorities selected for the demonstration are permitted to seek exemption from many existing Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher program rules found in the United States Housing Act of 1937 in pursuit of the three MTW statutory objectives: cost savings, self-sufficiency, and housing choices.
