Which types of housing are generally not eligible for MRVP assistance?

Luxury units that do not meet safety regulations are not eligible for MRVP assistance because the program is designed to provide housing assistance to low- and moderate-income families. MRVP aims to support residents in safe and quality housing situations. A luxury unit that is deemed unsafe not only fails to meet the program’s eligibility requirements but also contradicts the fundamental goal of ensuring safe living conditions for occupants.

The emphasis on safety regulations is crucial; any housing that does not adhere to these standards poses a risk to tenants and is therefore excluded from assistance. This ensures that public funds are not diverted to properties that do not promote the wellbeing of residents. In contrast, affordable housing units, single-family homes, and units with compliant safety features align with MRVP’s objectives and thus remain eligible for assistance.
