Evaluation of the fifth and final cohort of the expanded Moving to Work (MTW)

The contract pertains to the evaluation of the fifth and final cohort of the expanded Moving to Work (MTW) program, a federal initiative managed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Policy Development and Research. This assessment aims to analyze the outcomes, implementation challenges, and overall effectiveness of the latest group of public housing agencies participating in the MTW program, which grants participating agencies greater flexibility in designing and operating housing assistance programs tailored to local needs. The evaluation will likely examine key performance metrics such as housing stability, employment outcomes, cost-efficiency, and resident satisfaction, providing critical insights into the long-term impact of MTW’s expanded authority. The work will be conducted under the NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management, scientific, and technical consulting services, and will involve comprehensive data collection, analysis, and reporting to inform future federal housing policy. Rhea D. Acuna serves as the point of contact for inquiries, with all communications directed to her email address. The forecast indicates this opportunity is planned for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with no set-aside designation specified, meaning any qualified entity may respond. While the exact location of performance is unspecified, the work is expected to involve national-level data analysis and collaboration with participating MTW agencies across multiple states.
