An Act codifying the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program
This bill codifies Massachusetts' Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), providing rental assistance to low-income households. It establishes that households must have incomes at or below 80% of the area median income (with 75% of vouchers reserved for those at or below 30% AMI) to qualify. The program sets subsidy limits at 100-110% of fair market rent, requires biennial unit inspections for habitability, and mandates annual reporting on voucher usage by household demographics and location. It also standardizes a $80 monthly administrative fee per voucher and ensures unspent funds roll over to the next fiscal year.
