Housing Partnerships
EMPath partners with housing programs at the local, state, and federal level. Thanks to these programs, residents in subsidized housing are able to receive Mobility Mentoring® services to advance towards personal goals in family life, health, finance, education, and career.
Abbot MRVP Program
The Abbot Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP) is a residential program for women and their children. Located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, the multi-unit Abbot House is an innovative supportive housing model for 11 young families, each with their own apartment. Abbot House families create a community network—sharing resources, trading information, offering suggestions, and celebrating successes. Children at Abbot House can take part in play groups and other activities as well as receive individual academic tutoring. Abbot MVRP uses the Mobility Mentoring® model to support participants in achieving the program goal of full-time employment, with an annual salary of at least $35,000—on track to a Smart Start Job.
