AI Summary
This bill aims to establish and administer the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), which provides rental assistance to eligible low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income households through mobile and project-based vouchers. The bill sets guidelines for eligibility, payment standards, and tenant contributions, and requires regular inspections of assisted units. It also mandates the collection and reporting of data on the program's utilization, and directs the Department of Housing to promulgate regulations and guidance to implement the program. The bill ensures that any unspent funding for the program does not revert to the general fund but remains available for the program in the following fiscal year.
