Can participants use MRVP vouchers outside of their initial jurisdiction?

Participants in the MRVP program have the option to use their vouchers in different jurisdictions, provided they adhere to established portability procedures. Portability allows voucher holders to transfer their assistance from their initial jurisdiction to another, expanding their housing options and accommodating personal circumstances, such as job opportunities or family considerations.

To successfully transfer their vouchers, participants must follow specific guidelines, which typically include notifying their current housing authority and obtaining approval from the receiving authority. This flexibility in utilizing vouchers fosters greater mobility and access to housing opportunities across different areas, reinforcing the MRVP program’s intention of supporting individuals and families in finding suitable housing.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the program's portability feature, which is a key aspect of the MRVP's flexibility.
