In what circumstances can MRVP participants request a hearing?

Participants in the MRVP (Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program) can request a hearing if they disagree with adverse decisions affecting their assistance. This is specifically designed to ensure that individuals have the right to contest decisions that may impact their housing assistance—such as denials, terminations, or reductions in the level of assistance they receive. This process ensures fairness and allows for participants to present their case, with the goal of resolving any disputes regarding the assistance they are entitled to.

The opportunity for a hearing is a critical component of the program, as it upholds the rights of participants and encourages accountability in the decision-making process regarding their housing support.
