Selection is competitive, capped by agency size and spread by geography
What the document says“No public housing agency shall be granted this designation under this section that administers more than 27,000 aggregate housing vouchers and public housing units.”
The section requires the Secretary to choose agencies through a competitive process. No agency running more than 27,000 vouchers and public housing units combined may be chosen. Of those chosen, no more than 12 may run 1,000 or fewer units, no more than 8 between 1,001 and 6,000, and no more than 5 between 6,001 and 27,000. Selection must ensure geographic diversity among Moving to Work agencies, and within those limits the Secretary must prioritize agencies serving families with children and youth aging out of foster care at above the national rate.
What the document actually says“No public housing agency shall be granted this designation under this section that administers more than 27,000 aggregate housing vouchers and public housing units.”
A very big housing agency may not be picked. The line is 27,000 vouchers and public homes put together.
The group must also mix small, middling, and larger agencies. Caps are set for each size band. The agencies must be spread across the country.
