Moving to Work Plans and Reports
The Vancouver Housing Authority has been designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a 'high-performing agency' based on management performance. In 1999, HUD invited the VHA to become a Moving to Work agency. Moving to Work is a pilot project that seeks ways to increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing assistance. As one of a select group of housing authorities in the United States deregulated by the Moving to Work program, the VHA is required to submit two policy documents annually to HUD.
