SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2016 authorized HUD to award Moving 

to Work (MTW) authority to 100 

additional Public Housing Authorities 

(PHAs) by September 2023, and 

required that new MTW agencies be 

selected in cohorts with a specific 

policy focus. The participating PHAs 

will implement either a rent reporting 

for credit building program, an opt-out 

savings account program, or a PHAVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:41 Jan 22, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1

designed asset building program. The 

Asset Building Cohort will test two 

types of asset building programs for 

HUD households, rent reporting for 

credit building and an opt-out savings 

account program. To enable rigorous 

evaluation, households will be 

randomly assigned to participate in the 

asset building program or be in the 

control group. Households assigned to 

the opt-out savings account program 

will be automatically enrolled and then 

informed that they have access to 

savings that the PHA is depositing into 

an escrow account for them, which will 

be a minimum of $10 a month for two 

years. 

Moving to Work Asset Building 

Cohort Evaluation Data Files stores 

information needed to evaluate the 

impact of the asset building programs. 

The study sample for rent reporting will 

be drawn from households who 

volunteer to have their rental payments 

reported to credit agencies to build 

credit. To rigorously study the impact of 

rent reporting, volunteers will be 

randomly assigned to a treatment group 

for whom rental payments are reported 

or a control group for whom such 

reporting does not occur. The rent 

reporting study will include a 

longitudinal panel of families who will 

participate in qualitative, in-depth 

interviews to provide insight into how 

they understand and experience rent 

reporting for credit building. The 

evaluation of the MTW Asset Building 

Cohort will help HUD determine if asset 

building programs of the types studied 

can be effectively implemented by PHAs 

and if they positively impact the wellbeing of HUD-assisted households. 

HUD researchers (including Abt 

Associates and MEF Associates) will use 

this information to examine household 

outcomes related to housing stability 

and financial wellbeing. Researchers 

will also seek to understand the 

experience of households participating 

in the asset building programs and the 

PHAs that implement the asset building 

programs. This System of Records will 

contain data necessary to evaluate the 

effect of these new asset building 

programs.
