Required Documents

Documents required in the administration of the MRVP shall include, but are not limited to: (1) Annual Contributions Contract (ACC). An ACC setting out the duties and obligations of the Department and the administering agency must be signed by authorized representatives of both parties. (2) Voucher Payment Contract. A contract provided by the Department must be signed by the owner of a contract unit and an administering agency. (3) Lease Addendum. All MRVP participants and owners are required to execute either an MRVP Lease or an MRVP Lease Addendum to the owner's form of lease, in either case in the form prescribed by the Department. This document insures that a participant is not bound by a lease that unfairly waives certain legal rights. (4) Voucher. All MRVP participants and authorized administering agency representatives must sign a voucher in a form provided by the Department which shall set out the rights, duties and obligations of the participant. The voucher shall constitute a contract between the participant and the administering agency. (5) Request for Program Payment. When a participant with a mobile voucher locates a suitable unit, the participant shall submit to the administering agency a Request for Program Payment, on a form prescribed by the Department which shall set out the address of the proposed contract unit, the number of bedrooms, the party responsible for payment of utilities, the name and address of the owner, and the proposed contract rent. (6) The Department may develop and issue guidelines and/or standard forms to be used by the administering agency in connection with 760 CMR 49.00 and with reports and actions required by the Department. It is the responsibility of each administering agency to administer the program in accordance with the current guidelines and the current forms.
