What is an additional screening factor considered in MRVP eligibility?

In the context of the MRVP (Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program), an additional screening factor considered in eligibility is behavior towards AA (Affirmative Action) employees. This aspect is crucial because it reflects an applicant's interpersonal conduct, particularly in interactions that are pertinent to a program focused on equitable housing opportunities.

The screening process not only assesses financial need and eligibility criteria but also considers how applicants interact with representatives and employees involved in the program. Positive engagement and respectful behavior towards staff are indicators of a candidate’s suitability for participation in a program that aims to support those in need while promoting a healthy and cooperative community relationship.

In contrast, other factors such as geographical location, application processing speed, and level of education, while important in their own rights, do not carry the same weight in this specific context of determining eligibility based on applicant behavior.
