Moving To Work

The Livermore Housing Authority (LHA) is pleased to announce that on March 28th, 2024, we were awarded the Moving to Work (MTW) designation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This prestigious designation allows LHA greater flexibility in designing and implementing housing assistance programs to better serve low-income families in the City of Livermore.

Livermore Housing Authority was one of 14 Public Housing Authorities selected under the MTW Flexibility II Cohort and now joined over 100 agencies out of 3,300 nationwide.

MTW status grants LHA the authority to develop and test innovative strategies aimed at increasing housing choices, improving self-sufficiency outcomes, and reducing administrative burdens. This designation acknowledges LHA's commitment to improving the lives of its residents and enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of its programs.

As part of the MTW program, LHA has the flexibility to design and implement new programs and policies tailored to the specific needs of Livermore residents. These initiatives use Federal dollars more efficiently, help residents towards self-sufficiency, and increase housing choices for low-income families.

LHA works closely with HUD and community stakeholders to ensure that the implementation of MTW initiatives is transparent and responsive to the needs of residents. The authority is committed to ongoing communication and collaboration with residents, landlords, and community partners to ensure that the benefits of MTW status are maximized for all.
