SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Authority for the
MTW Expansion: The Fiscal Year 2016
Appropriations Act, Section 239 (Public
Law 114–113), signed by the President
in December 2015, authorizes HUD to
expand the MTW demonstration by an
additional 100 public housing agencies
(PHA) over seven years. Agencies
selected as part of the MTW expansion
must be high performers, meet certain
site selection requirements as described
below, and represent geographic
diversity across the country.
The key principles for the expansion
of the MTW demonstration are to:
Simplify, learn, and apply. The vision
for the MTW expansion is to learn from
MTW interventions in order to improve
the delivery of federally assisted
housing and promote self-sufficiency for
low-income families across the nation.
In developing the framework for the
MTW expansion, HUD will balance the
deregulation desired by the industry

with the need for a strong evaluative
component. Certain MTW flexibilities
will be provided to all new MTW PHAs
when they are designated. Other MTW
flexibilities will only be available to
specific cohorts, depending on which
policy will be tested and evaluated by
that cohort.
In order to inform the MTW
expansion, HUD published a Notice to
solicit feedback on the policy proposals
and methods of research and evaluation
in the Federal Register on April 4, 2016
(81 FR 19233) and anticipates posting a
summary of the comments on its Web
site in Spring 2016. Today’s Federal
Register Notice announces the
establishment of the Committee, as
described below, and HUD plans to hold
two conference calls with the
Committee throughout this Summer,
and will have one in-person meeting in
late-Summer 2016. HUD plans to post a
Notice to solicit applications for the first
cohort of the MTW Expansion in the
Fall of 2016. This Notice will include all
of the policies to be studied throughout
the MTW expansion. The initial cohort
of new MTW PHAs will be announced
in the Spring/Summer 2017, and
additional cohorts will be added
through 2020 through additional
notices.
Background and Authority for the
Committee: Establishment of the
Committee implements a statutory
requirement of Public Law 114–113.
The Committee is governed by the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees. The Committee
shall advise HUD on specific policy
proposals and methods of research and
evaluation related to the expansion of
the MTW demonstration to an
additional 100 high-performing PHAs.
The Committee shall advise HUD, at
the request of the Secretary, on the
following: Specific policy proposals and
evaluation methods for the MTW
demonstration; rigorous research
methodologies that will effectively
