Responsibilities

HUD is responsible for administering federal housing assistance programs and executing urban development laws across the United States. HUD’s primary responsibility “is helping create a decent home and suitable living environment for all Americans, and it has given America's communities a strong national voice at the Cabinet level,” according to HUD’s web page. HUD also aims to promote home ownership by underwriting lower and moderate-income families through mortgage insurance programs. [8]

Role of HUD in work requirements for public housing

See also: Areas of inquiry and disagreement related to work requirements for public assistance programs

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) may approve waivers that allow state public housing agencies to implement Moving to Work (MTW) initiatives, which require residents to find employment to remain eligible for public housing. These waivers exempt state and local housing agencies from some HUD public housing and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rules. If HUD approves waivers for state or local housing agencies, those agencies may use federal funds flexibly “to implement activities that otherwise would not be allowable” or “combine activities in order to create more comprehensive initiatives,” according to HUD.[9]

State or local public housing agencies with MTW waivers have the flexibility to create initiatives that include work requirements. These requirements vary across state and local housing agencies to respond to local populations, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. HUD had selected 87 state and local agencies for MTW initiatives as of March 23, 2022.[10][11]
