Rental Assistance - Massachusetts

Rental assistance programs in Massachusetts provide financial aid to help low-income persons rent apartments other than apartments in public housing developments.

There are three types of rental assistance in Massachusetts: The Section 8 Program, the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), and the Alternative Housing Voucher Program (AHVP).

The Federal government funds Section 8 assistance with administrative support from the Bureau of Federal Rental Assistance and the Bureau of State Rental Assistance in the Division of Public Housing and Rental Assistance. The Bureau of Federal Rental Assistance administers the Federal Section 8 program funds that are not distributed through the local housing authorities.

NOTES: For the Federal income limits established by Housing and Urban Development (HUD), see the HUD Income Limits page at:
http://www.huduser.org/datasets/il.html

The limits change annually, usually in February or March, so you should check then. You should also check to see if a WorkWORLD update is available at:

The MRVP and AHVP programs are funded by the State through the Bureau of State Rental Assistance. This Bureau also oversees Federal Section 8 funds that are distributed to the local housing authorities.
