83c Justification

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Office of Public and Indian Housing

Moving to Work (MTW) Rider to the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract for the Section 8 Tenant-Based Assistance Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) and/or the Section 8 Project-based Voucher (PBV) Program

Pursuant to the Public Housing Agency’s (PHA) participation in the MTW demonstration, the PHA may establish Section 8 HCV or PBV policies or requirements that differ from statutory requirements for both programs contained in the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, the relevant regulatory requirements, and applicable Public and Indian Housing Notices. Where any particular provisions of this HAP Contract differ from or conflict with the MTW activities included in the PHA’s approved MTW Supplement to its PHA Plan, the provisions of the MTW Operations Notice and the approved MTW Supplement to the PHA Plan shall supersede any conflicting or differing HAP Contract language. Further, the MTW Activity authorized by the MTW Operations Notice shall govern the PHA’s administration of the program notwithstanding a conflicting or differing provision of the HAP Contact. This rider shall be in effect for the term of the HAP Contract or the term of the PHA’s participation in the MTW demonstration, whichever ends sooner.
