Section 49.07 - Mobile Vouchers(1) After an MRVP applicant who has reached the top of the waiting list is determined eligible and qualified by an administering agency, the administering agency shall promptly issue a mobile voucher, if a voucher is available, to that applicant who then shall become a participant.(2) Within the voucher search period, a participant shall submit a Request for Program Payment for a proposed contract unit to the administering agency. Upon submission of a Request for Program Payment, the voucher search period shall be suspended until the administering agency processes the request. If the administering agency deems the unit unacceptable, the voucher search period will resume, and any subsequent Request for Program Payment must be submitted prior to the expiration of the balance of the voucher search period. The owner must also supply the administering agency with a certification from the local Board of Health or other local code enforcement entity or other certified inspector, such as an inspector qualified to complete HQS inspections, that the contract unit is in compliance with 105 CMR 410.000: Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation (State Sanitary Code: Chapter II) or HUD housing quality standards and (if applicable) a certification from a Certified Lead Inspector that the proposed contract unit is in compliance with applicable lead paint law. Any cost(s) incurred as a result of this requirement shall be borne by the owner.(3) Upon receipt of the necessary documentation, the administering agency shall enter into a Voucher Payment Contract with the owner of the contract unit, on behalf of the participant.(4) While a Voucher Payment Contract is in effect, the terms and conditions of the participant's voucher remain in effect for the period of time that the participant occupies the contract unit or until otherwise terminated. When a participant chooses or is required to move, the participant shall give written notice in accordance with the provisions of the voucher. If a move is approved by the administering agency, the administering agency shall issue a new voucher, and the participant shall submit a Request for Program Payment for a proposed contract unit within the voucher search period.(5) If the participant does not locate a suitable unit within the voucher search period, the voucher will expire, and the participant shall not be entitled to further benefits.(6) LHAs may administer mobile vouchers within a region, as defined in guidance provided by the Department. A participant with a mobile voucher may move anywhere in the state without jeopardizing program eligibility. When a participant relocates from one administering agency's jurisdiction to another, the voucher may be administered by the administering agency in the city or town where the participant takes up residence and the amount of the voucher payment will be determined by the receiving administering agency, pursuant to the specifications in 760 CMR 49.05(1).Amended by Mass Register Issue 1343, eff. 7/14/2017.
