The Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) assists individuals and families with low incomes in renting a home. Each participant pays up to 40 percent of his or her monthly income towards rent and the voucher covers the remaining amount. MRVP provides a permanent improvement in the lives of low-income families and individuals by offering tenant-based vouchers. The voucher is assigned to the participant and is valid for any housing unit that meets the standards of the state sanitary code.
