MTW. Submission of an MTW plan, including comments from the public
hearing, other public comments, and comments from current and
prospective residents, and compliance with other submission and
eligibility requirements are also required. HUD reserves the right to
implement a second stage in the selection process, giving HAs an
opportunity to further develop and revise their MTW plans.)
