    The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) seeks an experienced and skilled housing professional with a passion for and substantive knowledge of affordable and low-income housing programs to serve as the MTW Collaborative Director

Its membership is comprised of public housing agencies (PHAs) across the country who participate in the Moving to Work (MTW) program. Often called “America’s Housing Policy Lab”, the MTW program has been a model and innovation driver to improve life outcomes for low-income residents.
