. Posted in events - 0 Comments
This presentation will give attendees a comprehensive overview of the Gateway Housing Rehabilitation Program (GHRP) and the Tenancy Preservation Program (TPP).
About GHRP
GHRP supports projects in the 26 Gateway Cities and 7 similarly-situated Municipalities as identified by DHCD to address building and safety code violations or blighted conditions in 1-4 family residential properties.
$2.2M in grant funds are available in FY23, and an additional $2.3M+ is anticipated to be made available in FY24. Applicants may request up to $125,000 per eligible, affordable unit.
Eligible properties must:
- have current health and safety or building code violations or be at risk of losing insurance coverage due to blighted or substandard conditions.
- be 1-4 unit residential buildings or buildings suitable for 1-4 unit residential use.
- Uses can include demolition, acquisition, renovation, reconstruction, or adaptive reuse.
Eligible Applicants include:
- Municipalities & Municipal Authorities
- Community Development Corporations and Non-Profits
- For-profit Developers and Landlords
A 15-year affordability restriction is required to be recorded for all assisted units.
Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis and will close when all funds are committed. Go to www.MassHousing.com/GHRP for more information and to access application materials.
About TPP
TPP helps landlords and renters when a person's disability is destabilizing a tenancy. We will cover:
- TPP eligibility, including what’s considered a disability and how is it connected to the lease violation:
- Hoarding.
- Dementia.
- Domestic violence.
- How to access TPP services either by:
- Filing in court, or
- Referring before court.
- What a successful TPP intervention entails
- and more!
The Tenancy Preservation Program can be incredibly helpful in certain situations where a tenant could be successful if they received non-financial help and services. TPP is not a rental subsidy program.
Attendees will leave with knowledge of the program, confidence in working with a range of TPP-related disabilities and conditions, and pro tips for getting renters in need the help they deserve.
