HUD LogoThe Moving to Work (MTW) Research Advisory Committee will meet via conference call on Tuesday, December 13 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm ET. The public is invited to listen in.

On July 26 and 28, HUD convened two conference call meetings of the Committee, followed by a two-day in-person meeting on September 1 and 2 (see Memo, 5/9, 6/27, 7/18, and 8/22).
