Legislation Status	Not Applicable
How does cmte accomplish its purpose?*	During in-person and teleconference or web-based meetings, Committee members discuss a variety of policies that are of interest to the assisted housing industry and that could be studied by new MTW PHAs. For each policy idea, the committee discusses how the policy could be structured and potential research methods, ultimately recommending whether such policies should be considered by HUD for study. The Committee has used written public comments, research studies, HUD program information, and verbal public comment from meeting attendees to help inform its dialogue.
How is membership balanced?*	HUD created a Membership Balance Plan to ensure a balanced membership for this committee.
How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*	The Committee will meet in-person approximately one (1) time per fiscal year and by conference call or web-based platform up to three times as needed to render advice to HUD.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*	This Committee was established by Congress in statute, thus Congress determined there was a need for external industry and research expertise to inform the policies studied under the MTW Expansion.
Why close or partially close meetings?	Not Applicable
Recommendation Remarks	The committee did not formally designate a chair or co-chairs, instead the Committee operates through consensus.

Number Of Recommendations Comment	There were two Committee convenings in FY22. HUD decided to reconvene the Committee because one recommendation was rescinded, and a new recommendation was needed to be discussed. The Committee convened twice in October, 2021, to discuss which policy to replace work requirements policy cohort with. The meeting resulted in recommending that an asset building policy should be studied. The recommendations are as follows: the first cohort policy to study is the general effect of MTW flexibility for PHAs with fewer than 1,000 combined units. The second policy to study is tiered rent and stepped rent. The third policy study is to study landlord incentive program in the HCV program. Under this cohort, MTW Agencies would agree to utilize MTW flexibilities that might increase landlord participation. Agencies could propose some combination of payment standard flexibility, financial incentives to landlords, and less frequent inspections. The new recommendation is to see if asset building can help residents with their credit ratings and expand their opportunities to build credit, there are other asset building activities that will be studied as well.

Agency Feedback Comment*	In FY22, the agency's feedback was provided during the committee convenings which can be found in the committee summary posted on the MTW website, as well, the agency provides feedback through the MTW Committee email address, MTWAdvisoryCommittee@hud.gov.	Narrative Description*	In FY22, HUD convened the MTW Research Advisory Committee to explore possible policies to study under the MTW expansion to bring on 100 additional Public Housing Authorities into the MTW Demonstration Program. The Committee helps to inform HUD by providing recommendations which will help HUD make decisions on which policies to study. The committee convened on 10/14/21 and 10/28/21 to discuss a new policy study to replace the third cohort policy study of work requirements. HUD decided that work requirements study would not support families during these difficult economic times plus covid and therefore convened the committee to discuss a policy that would be more supportive to low-income families in FY22.
