AI Summary

This bill codifies the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), a program that provides rental assistance to eligible low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income households through mobile and project-based vouchers. The bill sets eligibility requirements, payment standards, and rent limits for the program, and requires the Department of Housing to administer a single voucher management system and collect data on the utilization of the vouchers. The bill also establishes a minimum administrative fee for vouchers and requires regular inspections of assisted dwelling units. The goal of the program is to help these households obtain decent, stable, and affordable housing and promote economically mixed housing.
