🌟 MTW Implementation is Here: A New Chapter for BRHA!
After months of thoughtful planning, collaboration, and community engagement, the Boca Raton Housing Authority (BRHA) is proud to begin implementing our Moving to Work (MTW) designation!
This milestone follows a year-long process that included public forums, resident meetings, and feedback sessions as we prepared to launch new flexibilities under the MTW program. We are grateful to everyone who participated and shared their voices along the way.
Becoming an MTW agency allows BRHA to tailor our programs to better meet local housing needs, expand housing choice, and support family self-sufficiency right here in Boca Raton.
🏘️ What’s Changing for HCV Program Participants
As we move forward with implementation, several updates will take effect to improve efficiency and flexibility for families:
Utility Reimbursement Payments: These payments will be eliminated. BRHA will no longer send payments to FPL.
Alternative Recertification Schedule: Families will complete recertifications every three (3) years instead of annually, providing more consistency and stability.
Alternative Utility Allowance: If utilities are included in rent, families will now receive a streamlined utility allowance instead of itemized deductions.
Initial Rent Burden Flexibility: Families can now choose to pay up to 60% of adjusted monthly income toward rent (previously capped at 40%), offering more housing choice.
Alternative Inspection Schedule: Inspections will now occur every three (3) years instead of annually.
These updates apply to both new and current assisted households.
