MBHP offers a variety of programs to help landlords with maintaining their properties and negotiating with tenants. These include:

  • Affordable Homeownership - MBHP offers the Homes for Good Program for low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers.

  • Home Modification Assistance - the Home Modification Loan Program provides loans to make access modifications to the primary permanent residence of elders, adults with disabilities, and families with children with disabilities.

  • Homelessness and Eviction Prevention - MBHP administers several programs to help tenants avoid eviction through services, resources, and emergency funds. If you have a tenant who is facing eviction due to a rental arrearage or other issue, please refer them to us.

  • Leasing Assistance - MBHP can help you to navigate the regulations of the Section 8 Program and the lease approval process, and to learn your rights and responsibilities as a landlord.

  • Mediation - Free tenant-landlord mediation services for the Greater Boston area are available through Just-A-Start Corporation's Mediation for Results.

  • Rent Determination - MBHP's process of determining "reasonable rents" for voucher holders based on current private market rents and taking into account unit size, location, features, and amenities. Required by HUD for all Section 8 subsidies.
