This legislation aims to significantly expand the Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration program by removing the existing numerical limit on participating public housing agencies (PHAs). It proposes a direct amendment to the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996, which originally set the parameters for PHA involvement in this innovative housing initiative. The core purpose is to allow more flexibility and broader participation in the program. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 204(b) of the 1996 Act by striking the phrase "up to 30" and replacing it with "not less than 15" public housing agencies. This change effectively eliminates the previous maximum cap of 30 PHAs, thereby enabling the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to add an unrestricted number of agencies beyond a minimum of 15 to the MTW program. The amendment is intended to foster greater innovation and efficiency in local housing programs.
