About this file
This document is a sample letter from a Housing Search Entity (HSE) to an individual with a disability or elderly person, outlining three affordable housing options for the individual to pursue. The letter is part of a state and local contract opportunity issued by the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) to establish a pool of qualified HSEs to perform housing search tasks for adults with disabilities and elders served by various MRC programs, including the Money Follows the Person (MFP-Demo) Demonstration grant and the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Moving Forward Plan (MFP) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers.
The HSE is responsible for meeting with the individual, assessing their housing needs and preferences, and recommending at least three affordable housing options for the individual to apply to. The HSE will assist the individual in completing and submitting the housing applications, as well as tracking the status of the applications. The letter also notes the importance of submitting the applications as soon as possible due to high competition for these types of housing units.
