Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP)

The Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) provides a permanent improvement in the lives of low-income families and individuals by offering both tenant- and project-based rental subsidies.

The tenant-based voucher, which is known as Mobile, is assigned to the Participant and is valid for any housing unit that meets the standards of the state sanitary code. Project Based vouchers are assigned to a specific housing unit or development.

Project-based vouchers are assigned to a specific housing unit or development. MRVP project-based vouchers generally cannot be transferred; they are tied to a specific apartment or development.

For more information about MRVP, contact the Leased Housing Gateway Team at 617.425.6611 or email them at gateway@metrohousingboston.org. For information about MRVP relocation, email relocationinfo@metrohousingboston.org.
