Massachusetts Rental Voucher - MRVP

Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program, begun in 1991, is a program for a limited number of low-income families to remain in scattered-site, privately-owned rental housing throughout the community.  The tenant portion is calculated to what the Commonwealth determines to be a fair share of allowable rent, with the voucher subsidy paid to the landlord for the difference in the Contract Rent.  Please apply for the MRVP under "Resources" then "Documents" or "Links" for the CHAMP Public Housing Application.

667-2 Congregate Housing

Congregate Housing is an innovative concept in housing offering a shared living arrangement to elders. This program provides an alternative for those aged 60+ to continue to live independently. Primarily it is designed to "age gracefully in place".  Congregate Housing offers affordable housing, together with supportive social and health services, needed to assist individuals in continuing to live independently.

Congregate living promotes socialization and companionship while providing security and privacy. This is not a medical facility and therefore is not appropriate for anyone who requires 24-hour care or supervision.  Captain Bearse House is not designed for those entering any phase of Alzheimer's or Dementia as we are not a staffed facility.  Please call us with any questions.

This application can be found under "Resources" then "Documents" for the Captain Bearse House, Congregate Housing.

Town Rental Assistance Program

Town Rental Assistance is available to those who work or live in Chatham, or have children in the Monomoy School system. For those who qualify, this program offers up to $350 per month to off-set rent. This is a three-year program and is designed to be a helping hand to those in need.

MCI/Escrow Program

MCI is a program we manage for the Town.  Currently, we have 5 homes that are part of this program (1, 2-bedroom and 4, 3-bedroom homes). These homes are leased to qualified families for a maximum 5-year term. Half of the tenants' rent is set aside in an escrow account and at the end of five years, it is available for a down payment on a home of their own on Cape Cod.  Currently, we are not accepting applications.  Please check back periodically in the event a family decides to terminate their tenancy and purchase a home.
