Moving to Work (MTW) is a demonstration program that allows housing authorities to design and test innovative approaches in assisted housing. The MTW program is administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo (HACSM) is one of the original 39 agencies of the MTW program. As of June 2024, there are 130 housing authorities in the MTW program, out of over 4000 housing authorities nationwide. HACSM has developed many activities to increase housing choice for low-income families, streamlined administrative processes and created a program that is more transparent, easy to understand and more equitable for assisted families. Following is a brief list of some of the activities that HACSM has implemented as an MTW agency:
- Triennial recertification schedule for elderly/disabled households
- Tiered Subsidy Schedule
- Affordable Housing Fund
- Biennial Unit Inspections
